Peanut Butter & Jelly Bars

Kenzie's back with another awesome recipe! Remember her Apple Pie Protein Bars? If you haven't tried those yet, you should! We've had so many people contact us about how good they were! But back to these Peanut Butter & Jelly Bars, they are part of our BRAND NEW eCookbook, Baby Eats Clean (and toddlers too!)! We wanted to give you a sneak peak at one of the recipes in the book.

P.S. As a side note, don't forget to take on our Fitness AND Finance Challenges for 2016!

Baby Eats Clean

This e-cookbook is filled with delicious recipes and tons of information. We know feeding a little one can be overwhelming and there is so much to consider...What is the most efficient way to make homemade baby food? What are the benefits of making it yourself? When can you introduce new foods? What foods should a baby never eat? These are just a few of the topics we discuss in our latest e-cookbook for clean eating baby & toddler foods. The book includes recipes for every stage, beginning with infancy and ending with preschoolers. The layout makes it easy to navigate and breaks down your child's eating schedule into simple stages. If you want your kids to eat healthy and thrive but also enjoy food, this cookbook is a must have!

And, just for fun, here's another picture of us after hiking Mount Yonah when she was visiting Georgia.

Clean Eat Recipe: Peanut Butter & Jelly Bars

Ingredients:

• 1 cup pure peanut butter
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
• ½ cup date sugar, coconut sugar, or 1 tsp liquid stevia
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1.5 cups oat flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup jelly
• ¼ cup raw unsalted peanuts, roughly chopped

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9x9 baking dish, set aside.
2. Stir peanut butter, vanilla, greek yogurt, sugar, and salt together in a medium size mixing bowl.
3. In a separate small bowl, stir flour and baking powder together. Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients. It should look like a crumble.
4. Scoop out ½ a cup of the peanut butter crumble and stir the peanuts in for topping later, set aside.
5. Pour the peanut butter dough into the greased baking dish pressing it down flat & evenly. Spread the jelly evenly over the top of the peanut butter bars, then crumble the peanut butter & nut topping over the jelly.
6. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown on top. Let cool before cutting into squares.

Prep time: 5 minutes

2016 Fitness & Finance Challenges

Can you believe it's already 2016?! Seriously, time FLIES! 2015 has been pretty awesome but I have a feeling 2016 will be full of even more adventures!

As we've mentioned in previous posts, this year our website will incorporate saving, budgeting, and traveling posts. We want to help you reach all of your goals - fitness AND finance. We are starting off the new year with many new challenges! There's a new She Sweats Challenge, 31-Day Full Body Fitness Challenge, 21-Day Jump Start Challenge, and a Finance Challenge! We hope that you participate in all four challenges!

She Sweats Winter Workout Challenge

Maybe you indulged a little bit more than you wanted or you just need some motivation to get back into an exercise routine...either way, our She Sweats Winter Workout Challenge will give you that motivation to "become the best version of yourself"!  Plus you could win a prize pack valued over $200!

It's simple to enter:

You've missed the deadline for this challenge but you can still select your workout plan and get started with your transformation!

• Purchase your workout plan (you can use the 12-Week Transformation, 12-Week Run Builder, 13.1 Plan, or Marathon Training Plan). You must have your own copy. It is illegal to distribute copies of this workout.
• Before starting, take your "before" pictures with some sort of time stamp (using the time stamp on a camera or a newspaper). Make sure your pictures are clear. You can wear what you prefer but make sure it is something where you can tell your progress throughout the challenge period. Take pictures from the front, side, and back. Stand using good posture.
• Complete the 12-Week Workout Plan that you choose.
• Take "after" pictures in the same manner that you did your "before" pictures.
• Email your before and after pictures (together) to thegang@heandsheeatclean.com.

BEFORE PICTURES MUST BE TAKEN BY JANUARY 25, 2016. AFTER PICTURES ARE DUE BY MAY 16, 2016. Note: This is a longer time frame to account for the 16 week half and full marathon training plans. If you are doing a 12 week plan you can send in your pictures once you are finished - you do not have to wait until May 16.

Are you in? Purchase your workout plan & fill out the form at the end of this post to let us know you are ready! That's it!

You can choose between the gym or the at-home version or get both for those days when you can't make it to the gym (the plans are interchangeable). The bundles (that include the workout plan and eBooks) also count. You can choose your product from the drop down menu below.
