We LOVE these healthy protein bars! My husband takes them to work and it gives him that extra mid-afternoon energy. This 9x13in dish of protein bars is packed with 120g of Protein. Ingredients * 1 cup instant Shaklee protein  (Shaklee  vanilla protein  works too) * 1 1/2 cups oats * 1 cup almonds/walnuts, chopped * 1/2 cup sunflower seeds * 1/4 - 1/3 cup ground flax seed * 1 1/4 cup natural peanut butter * 2/3 cup raw honey * 1 tsp pure vanilla extract Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Heat honey on a stove until it starts to come to a boil. Remove from heat immediately so it doesn't burn and add peanut butter and vanilla extract. Stir until peanut butter is nice and smooth. Add the peanut butter/honey mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir ingredients together until they stick. If mixture seems too dry, add extra peanut butter or honey. Press mixture into a 9x13in glass dish. We like to melt some dark chocolate chips and spread the melted chocolate on t...

Are All Vitamins the Same?

Image
"Aren't all Vitamin supplements the same?" We get asked that question a lot! There is a huge difference between buying a synthetic vitamin and a whole-food vitamin. It's important to learn how to read labels and understand the ingredients used. For example, check the label of your vitamin E supplement (or multi vitamin that contains vitamin E). D- Alpha tocopherol is the scientific name for the form of natural vitamin E that is found in food and that our bodies need. If the vitamin E is synthetic , it will be listed with a DL prefix,  dl-alpha-tocopherol.   You can experience side effects of synthetic vitamins from the additives and the unnatural state of the synthetic supplement.  It is remarkable how many natural-looking vitamin bottles with natural-sounding brand names contain a synthetic vitamin. What type of vitamin are you using? 3 types of Vitamins: 1.  Test Tube or Synthetic   (usually found in drug stores or discount store vitamins)�made in a test tube...

The Real Dirt on Clean

Image
You know that good feeling you get when you've just cleaned your house? Sorry to spoil it, but you may have just made your home dirtier. Think of it this way. You wouldn't let your kids play with toxic chemicals, so why would you let the baby crawl over a floor that's just been wiped with them? How dangerous are these conventional cleaning products?  Just take a look at these statistics: � Over 90% of poison exposures happen at home. � Common chlorine bleach is the #1 household chemical   involved in poisoning. � Organic pollutants, found in many common cleaners and even air fresheners, are found at levels 2 to 5 times higher inside your home than out. � A person who spends 15 minutes cleaning scale off shower walls could inhale three times the �acute one-hour exposure limit� for glycol ether-containing products set by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment. � Common cleaners give off fumes that can potentially  increas...
