Peanut Butter Oat Bars - Healthy, Healthy, Healthy

All the 'Blast Belly Fat' articles state basically the following: Eat one of these foods in every meal and you will burn belly fat - olive oil, sunflower seeds, nuts, avocados, whole grains. In addition, have fish (specific salmon or mackerel) at least twice a week and drink 3 cups of green tea (there is decaffeinated).

This recipe covers so much of the above - the bars include whole grains, nuts, olive oil and you can add sunflower seeds over time. I also add flax seed oil and flax seeds to add another healthy food containing both fiber and omega-3. And I add Apricots to get a fruit into the bar and add a little more stickiness to hold these bars together.

Plus making these will take you all of ten minutes, five minutes when you get the hang of it. It's a lot like making rice crispie bars.

I've made this four times and it's usually gone in 2-4 days. You won't regret making this snack/breakfast bar.
