Coconut Almond Flaxseed Granola Bars, plus a His and Hers FitBit Giveaway!I don’t know about you guys but I’m so excited for fall! I’ve spent a lot of time running and training outside over the summer and I’m ready for some cooler weather!

Even though I ran my half marathon just a few weeks ago, I’m still keeping my running routine going and I’ve recently incorporated Pure Barre into my workout regimen. I want to get toned and work on my core and what better way to do that right?! I’ve taken 3 classes so far and it’s getting easier. .  that first class kicked my butt!!! Wow!

Well, I want to know what you guys do for exercise and to stay fit. .  tell me!!! and for those who are interested, I’ve teamed up with some fabulous bloggers today to offer this giveaway so be sure to enter below!

His and Hers FitBit Giveaway!

 

Before we get to the giveaway, I have to share what I’ve been snacking on recently. .  these Coconut Almond Flaxseed Granola Bars! They are so easy to make and I just make a big batch and store them in the fridge or freezer (if I’m not going to eat them all within 4-5 days).

Simply throw everything into a food processor:

At this point, I’ve consumed more almond butter than I care to mention. .  and I’m addicted to dates too.

Pulse together and voila! You’ve got your mix! At this point, you could even make no-bake energy bites. Just roll this mix into balls and place in your fridge for about an hour. Or, to make the granola bars. .  flatten/spread the mixture on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake in the oven!

    I have a fitbit that I LOVE. I am also super excited for running outside now that the weather has gotten cooler.

    Yay for the addition of chocolate chips in this recipe 🙂

    I’m glad you’re a barre convert, Alice. I’m totally ridiculously into it. Like, I get really cranky if I don’t get my barre time in, and I actually OWN my own personal barre. 🙂
    And loving the idea of running in cooler weather. Our half-marathons pop up in October, since that’s prime running time here in D.C. It’s so awesome to run in perfect fall weather!
    These bars look like the best recovery snack!

    You just did a half marathon! Way to kill it!! When I grow up I want to be a runner! For now, it’s Barre, Pilates, my elliptical, and some seriously long walks. I have a Fitbit Charge HR and it keeps me moving when I’m inclined to be sitting. Love this thing!

    Yay, way to go on keeping up with running and signing up for Pure Barre, Alice! 🙂 I alternate between yoga, HIIT workouts as well as very light weight training whenever I have a chance and have wanted to try Pure Barre too but the closest place that offers the classes are too far for me. These bars are the perfect way to fuel up after a workout. Love the coconut and dates in here!

    Love the giveaway and LOVE these bars! What a perfect snack and so simple to make. I too love almond butter, and dates 😉 Oh and what I do to stay fit is fast walk a mile, probably like 4-5 times/week, and then I have a little weight routine I do. Thanks for the great recipe and giveaway!

    What do I do to stay fit…. hmmmm. I do an ab workout 5 mornings a week and then I eat (a lot) daily. 🙂 I also chase my dog around, I feel like that counts. My mother has a fit bit and she WON’T stop talking about it. I am cheap, and would rather spend money on food… so I have not purchased one yet. This is a great giveaway Alice, and I am going to check out that class you have been taking to stay in shape, because I need to get into a fitness grove so I can eat all the fattening holiday foods that will be here soon! PLUS I obviously need to snack on these all day, every day! Anything with coconut rocks my world, plus I’m a huge fan of flaxseed and granola… So these are going to happen! Pinned! Cheers, girlfriend!

    Hip Foodie Mom or Fit Foodie Mom? 😉 Seriously, your dedication to exercise and eating well leaves me in awe. I couldn’t run a half marathon to save my life and I wouldn’t have made it a week when you were doing the 30/30 diet! You’ve got some serious will-power girl!
    However, I will say… since moving to the Bay Area, I have been motivated to eat better and just be healthier overall. My husband and I love to hike and bike, so these granola bars would be perfect to throw in our packs and go! Pinning of course.
