No-bake oatmeal bars for "on-the-go"

One of the biggest life-savers when it comes to sticking with my eating plan is keeping healthy snacks with me at all times. I am often found with pistachios in my purse or cashews in my desk drawer at work.  If you always have something with you, you never have to worry about what happens when you get stuck in traffic, get stuck late at work, etc.

Today, I'm sharing with you a recipe for Gooey Shakeology Oatmeal Bars that you can make with Shakeology or whatever protein powder you have in your pantry!  These are great to keep for those "on-the-go" moments!

Makes 12 servings in 3 hours, 10 minutes

• 4 scoops Chocolate Shakeology
• 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 dash ground cinnamon
• 1 cup nonfat milk (or milk substitute)
• 1/2 cup all-natural peanut butter
• 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
• nonstick cooking spray

Combine Shakeology, oats, cocoa powder and cinnamon in a large bowl, and mix well.  Add milk, peanut butter and vanilla extract, and mix well with a spatula or by hand.  Place in an 8x8 inch pan that is coated with spray.  Cover with plastic wrap and press down to flatten in pan.  Refrigerate for 3 hours.  Cut into 12 bars.

Try to switch it up by using different flavors of protein powder and adding dried fruit, nuts or unsweetened coconut flakes.
