These have been the MOST-requested recipes we get from our fellow friends and athletes. We've been holding onto the recipe for dear life until now and we can't wait to finally share it with you, our Denver fitness community!
One of our favorite parts about #bodyweight #training is also carrying over a certain mindful-ness to our kitchen! We find ourselves craving sources of protein and nutrients that will fuel us up and taste delicious WITHOUT compromising our gains. So ... we're stoked to let you in on our little secret :)
Crystal Hatch, (co-founder of Club Calisthenics) was messing around in the kitchen one night and finally found something to satisfy her late night cravings while also supporting her body into recovery-mode instead of spiking her insulin levels with the sugary bars she had in her cabinet. Crystal was a huge fan of the convenience of grabbing Quest bars from the supermarket but wanted a healthy option that she could make in her kitchen.
This is how this incredible and delicious no-bake (Quest-alternative bar) was born. By using nuts, natural sweeteners and just a food processor, the most delicious energy bar came to life. In fact, it's become SO popular in Crystal's #Denver community, it has been a frequent request for gatherings and post-workout hang-outs. Let's get into it ...
