Guest guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Why do you need an energy booster? I ran for 15 years, long distance as a veg head... as long as you get yer carbs and like 20% of your diet's protein, you should be fine... those bars are really just a marketing thing... ) Instead of a bar, eat some peanut butter. I ran 11+ miles a day without energy bars. oxxoRobyn I'm a beginning veg runner, and I obiously need some sort of energy booster, like a bar.. I know some of the bars on the market are catered to VegHeads like us.. But does anyone make their own? Tishana We are in a war. We have no energy plan for global warming. People can't afford to take medicines to stay alive And the government feels that Gays getting married is the most important thing to worry about?

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 I don't run, but waddle fairly well. Have walker will travel. This is from the American Running Association. Energy Bars-Unbaked By: American Running Association Running and Fitness 1 cup rolled oats 1/2 cup wheat germ 1/2 cup oat bran 1/2 cup vanilla protein power (if you don't use protein powder yet, e-mail me offlist for bunch of suggestions) 1 cup crunchy peanut butter 1 cup raisins or dried fruit of your choice/chopped 1 cup chocolate chips 1 cup light Karo syrup Honey can be substituted for Karo. Carob chips for chocolate chips. All these things can be found at any health food store, and in most of the Super Size Super Markets that now have sections for the dried organic food stuff. Mix all ingredients well. Pat out on wax paper into a large rectangle. Take a large knife and divide into bar shaped rectangles. Put these in Ziploc bags and freeze ‘til you need them. Simple. Easy. As a great source of protein dried fruits like apricots, pineapple, apples, banana chips, cranberries, raisins, figs, blueberries really add to the flavor. For some interesting crunch value add sesame, pumpkin, poppy, caraway, sunflower seeds, as well as other organic food items. Mix it up to make a terrific batch of great tasting gourmet energy bars. Since I don't ned the calories, I only use enough Karo, honey or maple syrup to bind. Have a bunch more protein bar recipes if anyone wants. Jeanne in Georgia Talk is cheap.
