I was happy to come across this recipe over at Beachbody's website. The recipe was actually for Homemade Energy Bars. I did some revisions based on the ingredients that I already have. I also did not use Shakeology, again hubs and I were testing out ways to lose weight within our budget. Beachbody highly recommends taking Shakeology while doing their workouts because of its benefits...which I certainly agree with. However, not all can afford it, right? This recipe can also be used for a 21-day fix.

Ingredients:
1 cup whole pitted prunes
1 cup dried figs
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 scoops Shakeology ( I used EAS whey protein powder
Directions:
You can process the walnuts first using a blender or food processor. Set aside. Place dried prunes, figs, and half of the chopped walnuts in a food processor. Pulse for 1 to 2 minutes scraping the sides. Pulse until the mixture resembles this.
Form the processed fruit and nuts into a ball. I was able to make around 12 balls. Using half of the walnuts, roll the balls into the walnuts. Place in a parchment-lined cookie sheet and refrigerate for 1 hour.
If you want to make these yummies into energy bars, press mixture into cellophane lined 8x8 pan, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hr. Cut into 12 bars.
One bar has 148 calories and 6 g of protein.
You can definitely add your own flavors but note that it will change the nutritional value. If you are doing 21 Day Fix, 1 serving will be:
1 yellow 1/2 blue
