Carrots Candy Bars and a SWEET giveaway.

Good beautiful wonderful Monday afternoon to you!!

I ended up with a spare 60 minutes between work and more work (can anyone say 16 hour work day?)  and I threw together a variety of ingredients to make some quick-to-grab bars. I love having a quick, protein packed, unprocessed/clean snack to grab when I'm in a pinch and short on time.

Quick run-down of ingredients; shredded carrots, banana, shredded apples, walnuts, chia seed, ground flax, coconut oil, agave nectar, mexican vanilla, almond milk, cinnamon, raisins, unsweetened shredded coconut, egg whites, protein powder and oats.
I really had no idea how these would turn out because I just kept dumping in ingredients and stirring, rummaging through my cupboards, dumping in some more and then finally realized that I had barely enough time to get them cooked before I had to leave for work so I licked the spoon and called it the finished product.
I'm not sure which siblings got the creative cooking genes but I certainly got the short end of the wooden spoon. Nobody has died from my cooking yet, but it's nothing to write home about.

The finished product- quick little snack bars. I paired one with some plain greek yogurt today for a mid morning snack and it hit the spot. They aren't particularly sweet, but they are super flavorful. Carrot Candy Bars?? Okay, works for me.

HEAR YE, HEAR YE, LADIES AND GENTLEMAN AND ALL SMALL CHILDREN.
