Food Friday- Energy on the Go!

Granola Bar Madness

I couldn't be more excited to post and share an amazing and quality energy bar that is not processed and packaged and shipped off from far away lands. This energy bar is wholesome goodness made right here in Bend, OR from one of my very own athletes, Dyxie V.  Dyxie introduced me to her bars during a week of healthful nutrition discussions. We shared many ideas of how easy it is to create some homemade nutrition although mine were not as amazing as hers so let me introduce you to what has become a permanent staple in my house...

The Dyxie V. Energy Bar

Dyxie V. prepares and packages these healthy treats with her own two hands. They are individually wrapped and sealed for freshness so they can go straight from the freezer (that is where I store mine) to my gym bag, golf bag, swim bag, lunch box, bike jersey pocket...well, you get it. 

What is in them you ask?

Basically they contain homemade granola made with rolled oats, almonds, raisins or dates (optional), unsweetened reduced fat coconut (optional). For the bars flax seed, pumpkin seeds,  ground chia seeds, whey protein, almond butter, agave and maple syrup are also added. Nutritional information is available on request.

This is an excellent mid-morning or afternoon snack paired with a giant class of water with lemon or even a cup of hot tea and even a few slices of fresh apple or fresh berries.  My three and four year old are always asking for them and I never think twice about passing these over as a healthy treat. 

You can contact Dyxie directly if you would like to place an order and try the wholesome goodness yourself. If you don't, you will be missing out on a little bit of heaven. They are freshly served for $15 a dozen. e-mail Dxyie at: dyxievb@gmail.com to order. 

Thank you Dyxie for sharing your treats with us!  We are lucky to have you in the group and lucky to have your bars fueling our every step.
