Who doesn't love a quick pick me up in the middle of the day. Unfortunately most of the midday energy supplements there are not very many healthy options. I mean lets face it when most of us want a quick boost of energy-- it is usually something carbonated with lots of sugar. One of my favorite blogs, Withlovefromkat.com posted a recipe from her new cookbook , which includes this yummy treat. Once I saw this I had to come right over and share it with you guys!

They are loaded with oats which are high in protein, chia and flax seeds which are high in fiber, coconut which is an anti fungal, pumpkin seeds which are a healthy fat and packed full of antioxidants. Plus they are sweetened with maple syrup, which is one of the best natural sweeteners.  Here is the recipe:
