Busy Busy Summer!

I don't think I have stopped moving for the past month! From birthdays to cabins, I have been busy! I have been trying my best to eat healthy and keep my workouts up. I am still doing good during the week but have been slacking a little too much on the weekends. I have noticed it starting to show so I need to get it back in gear! I signed up this summer to become a person trainer! I am so excited to start this journey!! It is going to be a lot of hard work but I am up for the challenge. I know how much this has changed my life and I am so happy to have the opportunity to help others. 

I have been spending a lot of time this summer on the lake. Eating healthy on a boat is hard to do when everyone brings unhealthy snacks. I have been making healthy snacks to share. Here are some Peanut Butter Banana Oat Bars I made. They are super good!!

Peanut Butter Banana Oat Bars

 

1 1/2 cups quick cooking oats
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 large mashed banana
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Mix together the quick cooking oats, light brown sugar, baking powder, salt and ground cinnamon.

Add in the vanilla extract, milk and egg. Mix the ingredients together.

Then add in the mashed banana and peanut butter. Combine all of the ingredients.

Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 8 by 8 inch metal baking pan. Bake at 350 F degrees for 20 minutes.

Cut into squares and enjoy!

One of my goals for the rest of the summer is to put together more healthy recipes to share. I have so many ideas but not a lot of time. I also want to get back into my healthy eating on the weekends. I always believe summer is the time to let go a little and have fun but its time to get strict again. Here we go!!
