You had me up until the SUGAR and corn syrup. Bad energy. Why not use agave nectar or just the honey?

[ToneJermain]

he's making a dam snickers bar with all that sugar...

[MrLucky78]

@swanjoy333 I was thinking the same thing.....

[luckytom13]

fuck i thought this was and energy #electricity/ bars "how to". ° .°

@MariusWM A lot of people like agave, but I prefer honey. You could also use coconut oil as it hardens at room temperature.

[MariusWM]

@danikacarter Agreed. Do you happen to know a healthy alternative to corn sirup? A healthy starch that will bind and hold the cornbars together? I have a bit of a hard time finding that. I know some use agava syrup, but I don´t know alot about it.

[MariusWM]

loOol he said "baking shit"

[danikacarter]

Corn syrup & refined white sugar have no business being in an energy bar or health food. Both are highly refined sugars and the corn syrup is genetically modified and heavily sprayed with pesticides.

These energy bars are delicious, but probably not the healthiest. Has anyone worked out the nutritional information yet? Here's the ingredients: 1 c almonds 1 c Rolled oats 1 c Shredded coconut 1/2 c sesame seeds 1 c Raisins 1 c Cranberries 1 c Apricots 3/4 c light corn syrup +6 tbsp honey 1 c sugar 1 1/4 peanut butter 3 tbsp milk powder

These bars are for athletes, not the general public or people doing yoga. The best way to increase/maintain glycogen stores is to give athletes fast absorbing carbohydrates, such as sugar. So he has the right idea, but the amount of calories per bar is wrong for the activity level.

[suraah]

I would consider these bars a kind of treat like 'mars' or 'sneakers' because of the sugar, corn sirup, peanut butter and toasted nuts...

It is healthier to eat nuts and seeds raw!

[greatbydesign33]

Sugar and Corn Syrup ??? ... and he is calling this a healthy "Energy" bar ??? You gotta be kidding! I'm tired of these idiots who know nothing about nutrition doing YouTube videos to further miseducate the public. Eating that shit will DRAIN your energy - not give it to you.
