Homemade Triple Almond and Chocolate CLIF BARS

Breakfast is a tricky meal for me. I go through phases that change every few month or so and whilst being in a specific phase I cannot eat anything else no matter what. When we go out for breakfast I even eat a first phase-friendly breakfast at home. There was the oatmeal era, the green smoothie phase, the tit bake era and now I am head over ears in love with CLIF BARS ❤

Some time back I tried to recreate my favorite peanut flavored CLIF BAR. The result was this no-bake Homemade CLIF BARS.  Today I took a different approach and made a baked bar that not only combines all the good things from bar #1 but also takes the deliciousness to the next level!

The Homemade Triple Almond and Chocolate CLIF BARS are naturally high in protein and therefore don’t need any added protein powders. I swear I’ll never touch a store brought bar ever again for breakfast! Okay I back out. Let’s say I will when I am going to the US in summer. Too many great flavors we don’t get our hands on here.

Chocolate and Peanutbutter Cornflakes Bars

Hello again party people! I promised a new bar recipe for today and I am happy to deliver. I must admit that I have criminally neglected peanut butter over the last months. With all those alternatives it’s hard to treat them all equally. BUT luckily my gateway drug has made a reappearance and definitely won’t disappear again anytime soon.

I have mentioned some of those matches made in heaven on Monday and one I definitely forgot was Peanut Butter and Chocolate. Throw in some crunch and I am all yours.

Vegan Protein Rice Crispy Squares

Lately I have thought a lot about different tastes. How do you make sure your recipes don’t only fit your taste but also other people? I like bars and protein powder, I like cacao butter and puffed rice, but do you? I fully approve of these Vegan Protein Rice Crispy Squares but will others? Luckily I as well as most of you have some test eaters I bomb my goodies with. And I let it up to them if a recipe is approved of ❤

Vegan Protein Rice Crispy Squares

My most common test eater is the lovely hubby. And then I have two wonderful colleagues who also follow a healthy lifestyle and are keen on trying new recipes. But there are others as well and today I’ll introduce you to my Nemesis when it comes to healthy food: my sister! After trying a few bars on the hubby I need my sister to further approve of healthy recipes. In my case she is the perfect test eater as she and a healthy lifestyle are definitely two opposite concepts. Only today she told me that her fridge holds nothing but coke, red bull, butter and an avocado. This pretty much convinced me entirely that I must be adopted!

But anyways she highly approved of today’s recipe and so I’ll treat you with a new vegan bar designed to fit an athletes needs.

Hazelnut Quinoa Bars

I love me a good old snack and honestly, who doesn’t. As much as I like all the balls and bites I made over the last months the slacker in me sometimes loves a good old bar recipe. The perks of just cutting the portions out of a big chunk instead of forming all of them single-handedly.

A new year a new round of recipes. Most of these I develop with one person in mind – the best husband in the world and lover of all sweat treats I whip up. And when he asked for a new batch of bars I happily danced to the kitchen, slipt into my apron, got out the magic wooden spoon and well this was the result.
