2. Take a wide plate and spread it on the plate. Use your hands to spread it and press down.
3. Store this in the fridge for 2 hours so that it can harden and come together
4. Remove from fridge and cut it into cubes and store it back in the fridge in a tight container. You can eat them as snacks on the go.

My kids ask for these all. These bars are a family favorite! We can devour a whole batch of them in one sitting and have another baked and ready to enjoy in no time! They're chewy with a slight crunch from the toasting of the oats as they bake and they're loaded with peanut butter and honey giving them that sweet & salty combo. These bars are loaded with peanut butter, oats, and other good for you ingredients.

Discover How to Improve Your Mood with Food

In general, people have been trained to believe that “comfort” foods are bad for the body and must be avoided. Sometimes, if your comfort food is a sugary food or another junk food, this is very true. At times, comfort foods can be utterly healthy and good for us to eat. A number of foods honestly do boost your mood when you consume them. If you feel a little bit down and you’re in need of a happiness pick me up, try a few of these.

Eggs, would you believe, are great for helping you battle depression. Just see to it that you do not throw out the yolk. When you want to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most essential part of the egg. Eggs, especially the yolks, are full of B vitamins. B vitamins can truly help you raise your mood. This is because these vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that control your mood–function better. Try to eat an egg and feel a lot happier!

Build a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all great for elevating your mood. This is possible as these foods are rich in magnesium which raises your production of serotonin. Serotonin is called the “feel good” substance that our body produces and it tells your brain how you should be feeling day in and day out. The more of it you have, the more pleasant you are going to feel. Not only that but nuts, in particular, are a fantastic protein source.

If you want to defeat depression, try eating some cold water fish. Cold water fish such as tuna, trout and wild salmon are high in DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. These are two things that promote the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can greatly boost your mood.

Grains can be great for driving away a terrible mood. Teff, barley, millet, quinoa, etc are all wonderful for helping you feel better. They help you feel full as well which can truly help to improve your mood. Feeling famished can really make you feel terrible! The reason these grains are so good for your mood is that they are not difficult to digest. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps raise your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, improves your mood.

Green tea is excellent for moods. You were simply waiting to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea has been found to be chock-full of an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies prove that this particular amino acid can actually stimulate brain waves. This will improve your brain’s focus while at the same loosening up the rest of your body. You likely already knew it is not difficult to get healthy when you drink green tea. Now you know that green tea can improve your mood too!

Now you realize that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you are wanting to help your moods get better. Try a few of these instead!
