Natural Energy

Part of the training plan is to at least try to eat mostly healthy, real food. Although I have no problem with the taste of gels, power bars etc, I'd like to stay away from the preservatives and extra ingredients. I've been experimenting with natural, home-made energy bars, cookies etc. I often just find a recipe on the web and modify it. I made the recipe linked below the other night. I liked the simplicity of the recipe and the fact that it contained a good ratio of chocolate to anything else. Four ingredients and less than half an hour produced enough of these to get me through quite a few workouts... if they last that long. They're friggin' delicious! Mine aren't quite so fancy. This site actually looks like a great resource for lots of recipes; not just endurance foods.
