No Bake Granola Cakes. Big changes are happening over on my workouts page and even bigger changes are happening with my marathon training plans.
February has been a challenge for me, I was losing muscle, motivation, and forgetting why I began running in the first place. My passion was slowly exiting. A couple days ago I decided I needed to switch things up, I needed to ask for help. [Something I dislike doing, but need to realize that it's okay to get a hand with things and let people in] I sent a message to Angie, a triathlon coach I’d been chatting with back in August and before I knew it I had a new training plan. First thing I told myself: it’s okay to be nervous and a bit overwhelmed. Change has always been hard for me, but I just need to believe in myself and keep my end goal in sight. Second thing I told myself: holy moly, I’m actually going to do this! Then I had a granola cake.

There are plenty of reasons to make your own protein bars.
First, it’s economical ! You’ll save a lot of money, particularly if you have a habit of buying single bars one a time. Even better, you can customize your bars to your taste preferences, avoid any allergens, and leave out ingredients you don’t want. You can make a bar with high quality protein, whole grains, real nuts or fruit, flaxseeds, whichever sweetener you prefer, and skip all the long-named chemical ingredients (preservatives and fortifications) that you may not need or want in your snack. Plus, they taste awesome if you have a good recipe! These bars provide healthy fats from natural peanut butter and flaxseed.
