Seed Bars

A nice snack when you're gut feels grumbly, lots of fats and proteins, especially with the extra powder I put in here, however this is a pretty big hit, 56 calories/square inch, so eat with care.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups puffed quinoa, toasted
• 1 cup chopped roasted, salted peanuts
• ½ cup white and/or black sesame seeds
• ½ cup flax-seeds
• ½ cup unsalted sunflower seeds
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• ⅔ cup honey
• 4 scoops protein powder

Instructions

1. Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Stir quinoa, peanuts, sesame seeds, flax-seeds, protein powder and sunflower seeds in a large bowl.
3. Combine peanut butter and honey in a small saucepan over medium, stirring until melted and smooth, 1 to 2 min. Stir into quinoa mixture until evenly combined. Scrape into prepared pan, using a spatula to press firmly into an even layer.
4. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 min. Cut into bars. Refrigerate in a covered container for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 weeks.

Note: To toast quinoa, place in a large frying pan over medium and cook, stirring, until golden and fragrant, 2 to 3 min.
