I haven't posted for a long time. A lot happened between now and Oct (my last post). I am now 25 weeks pregnant and the first Trimester + a little of the second trimester were not very kind to me. I was trying to take care of my 1.5 year old and stay out of bed. I was so exhausted and my whole digestive system shut down and lead to some days where I spent the whole day in bed and in and out of the bathroom. Since about week 16 I have been doing really well. I have continued to exercise 6 days a week. I usually rotate jogging, cycling and weight lifting. I only had a few days in the first trimester that my exercise was cut short due to sickness problems. I believe that bc I exercised throught my first pregnancy I bounced back quickly and I am hoping that with baby #2 it will be the same!
Anyways I wanted to share my healthy granola recipe because my husband loves it and I get a treat that is healthy for me and my baby. Most granola bars you purchase from the store have tons of ingredients that you don't even know, so I love that this is 3 ingredients (optional more if you want to add some other items)
1 C Peanut Butter
1/2 C Honey
3 C Oats.
Over the stove cook melt peanut butter and honey together. Once melted remove and add oats. Put the mixture in a 9x9 pan and put in fridge to cool. Once cooled cut in bars and eat! (got recipe from Pinterest)
Options
I like to melt a handful of Chocolate chips on top.
Other Options to add
shredded coconut
craisins (raisins)
nuts of any kind.
I'll add a picture next time I make them.
