Dark Chocolate Energy Bars with Chia & Flax
If you are looking for a high-protein, high-calorie, high-energy recipe for your active lifestyle– these are the bars for you! The dark chocolate, raisins and maple syrup make sure they taste delicious, while the chia seeds, flax meal and hemp hearts provide a sustained energy. I used Sunbutter since Ben is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts, but you can sub almond butter, peanut butter or any other nut butter of your choice.

Life is good. I was sick when I left Colorado, but for some reason being sick in Hawaii does not feel as bad as being sick in Colorado; I think it’s because of the humidity. My friends greeted me with a lei and champagne at the airport, not too shabby! I have a few interviews at restaurants around the area this week, one of which is Morimoto’s restaurant in Waikiki! Wish me luck! Since I am having so much fun, I figured you all deserve some fun as well, so I am happy to announce a cheese giveaway from Ile de France cheese! This giveaway is extra exciting because there is not one, but FIVE winners!
Kale Chips
It has finally hit me that I will be leaving Colorado in just about one month. I was born and raised in Colorado. I grew up with the mountains and snow sports. I had my heart set of going to college out of state, but when the time came I found myself sticking around for the mountains. I have lived in the mountains each winter while in college and have molded my life around snowboarding. With graduation only about a week away, I am still in shock. First, I can’t believe I am already graduating (a semester early!). Second, I can’t believe that I am moving to the BEACH!
