Full Meal Super Energy Bar 

Another example of sneaky nutrition
Click on the links for health and nutritional information.  You'll be amazed at the nutritional benefits from some of these ingredients.
As with all the smoothies on this site, this food helps establish essential food security.
This bar has something from every food group

You can start with a blender to mix all the ingredients except the seeds if you are using rolled oats.
If you use wheat flour or oat flour you can add everything to a bowl and use a mixer.

Recipe # 1.  (2nd recipe below)

Add to a blender or large bowl:

4 large eggs
3 cups rolled oats or oat flour or whole wheat flour
2 cups skim milk  or cashew, almond, or soy milk.
1 cup honey
2 cups no sugar added peanut butter (fresh ground is best)
2 cups zucchini  (if doing this in a blender, you can add zucchini cut into small pieces, if in a bowl and using a mixer, shred the zucchini)

Blend well.  If in a bowl, mix these ingredients well.

If doing the first part in a blender, and it would need to be a large blender, add everything into a bowl then add...  If already in a bowl just add the following.

1/2 cup pumpkin seed
1/2 cup sunflower seed
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup chia seed
Optional but makes it taste better:
1 tsp baking powder
1tsp baking soda
If you have problems finding these items, many can be purchased in the bulk section at WinCo  (There's coupons in the link too.)

Mix well.

Spray a large cookie sheet with a spray oil

Pour all ingredients into the cookie sheet.

Put in an oven, preheated to 400 degrees.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.  (Put kitchen knife or fork into bars to make sure it comes out clean and the bars are completely cooked.  same for the recipe below.  Don't overcook.)

Cut into serving sized.  Best served warm.
