Paleo Granola Bars

It’s pretty hard to find sweet snacks while on Paleo, so this granola bar recipe is such an amazing discovery. These are for SURE going to disappear pretty quickly, and your kitchen will smell AMAZING. They taste just like other granola bars, but healthier and you can take them on-the-go :)

Ingredients:

3/4 cup of raw pumpkin seeds

3/4 cup of raw sunflower seeds

1 1/2 cups of almond meal

1 1/2 cups of shredded unsweetened coconut

3 cups of raw slivered, chopped, or sliced almonds

3-4 tsp of pumpkin pie spice

1 cup of raw honey

3 tbsp of pure vanilla

3/4 cup of melted coconut oil

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl

Stir in the wet ingredients

Pour the mixture into a baking pan that is lined with foil or parchment paper

Spread the granola flat throughout the sheet

Bake for 15 minutes and stir the mixture

Bake for another 5 minutes

Let cool and cut into granola bars

All packed

Well it’s only a couple of days so it was pretty quick and fits in a normal backpack - I love packing light!

Leave for SFO tomorrow - should be a fun weekend.

On a side note - Old Navy commercial with the oh white jeans they look so nice - yeah sure for like five minutes until you walk out of the house and sit in something or just walk somewhere and then they get all dirty and gross.

Running

Woot! Went for a run - didn’t want to, but wanted to see my friend so I guess it all worked out. It was a short quick one probably about 2 miles. I did it though and it was pretty easy and we chatted the whole time.

In home mini-WOD

Just cause I haven’t been to my box - doesn’t mean I can’t pretend in my apartment. Since I’ve found the 2sq foot area in my place I can jump rope - I just did the following

4 rounds
100 singles
10 air squats
10 push ups
10 full sit ups

I keep trying to do double unders but the space is a wee bit tiny and I keep hitting something (oh like the ceiling) so I’m sticking to singles inside the apartment.

I am now sweating like a pig and I think my laundry may be done soon. Going to do some mobility for my squats and then fold and go to bed.

haven’t cheated yet…

so i haven’t cheated yet on my crossfit box - i haven’t gone to my crossfit box either in about two weeks now. i put my membership on hold and am going to try out the place near me after memorial day. i will also know before or after memorial day if the most wonderful amazingly brilliant work trip is going to happen and if that happens i may just save some bucks and hold off on the crossfit until afterwards. i’m not holding my breath on the work trip though, but it would be amazing!

i did however find out that i can jump rope inside my apartment this morning and i worked a bunch of singles - there is this one spot i can stand where i don’t hit anything and fortunately i don’t have any downstairs neighbors so no one to bug with the jumping aspect of it. i had a hard time hitting any double unders though, but i’m going to keep working on it. so i did a whole bunch of singles for about 20minutes and then did 2 x 10 pushups. yeah it wasn’t much, but i’m going to run tonight.

so dark

all of the sudden it is super crazy dark outside! like i thought it was nearing on 8pm, but nope it’s 1:30pm. the clouds and rain have come back to seattle it appears. i think they will be here all week - good thing i get to go to SF on saturday. i kinda don’t mine actually right now, which is odd - but really most of my sunny happy clothes are in the laundry and i already stained my new favorite simple black v-neck so there is that.

i hope the rain stops though before i get home as i am feeling better and kinda wanted to do a hill work out tonight.

Meh

I really want to go for a run - but lets just say my tummy is not exactly on board with that - going to meet up with a friend in a bit and try to eat something more than just a banana today and perhaps go for a run later this afternoon/evening.
