Yummie Oatmeal Bars!

I decided this week I wanted a goal to eat the least amount of processed stuff I could! So I decided to make these Yummie Oatmeal Bars! I had a recipe from a long time ago but couldn't find it and really forgot so I had to make up my own. 

Yummie Oatmeal Bars

9 Cups of Old Fashion Oats
2-16 oz of fresh Strawberries
3 Very Ripe Bananas
1 1/4 Cup of Organic Unsweetened Coconut Shredded
2 Cups Unsweetened Apple Sauce

I mashed the strawberries and banana together real good.  Then I added it to the Oats.  Then added all the rest of the ingredients! I lined a cookie sheet with parliament paper and spread the mixture on the paper! (note it all didn't fit I had to get another small dish to put the rest of mixture in.) Bake for 30 mins on 350 degrees.  It makes 26 bars and according to my fitness pal 160 calories!  Enjoy

I also made some Vegan Ranch Dressing! It was so good as well! I got it from Denise and forget where she got it.  I changed a couple of things but this is how I made it today! I figure it up to be 49 calories for 1/2 cup that is way better for you then regular ranch!

Ranch Dressing

(makes a little over 2 cups)

12 oz (1 package) Mori-Nu lite silken-firm tofu

3/4 tsp each garlic powder and onion powder

1 tsp dry dill

1/3 cup water, or more or less depending on desired thickness

scant 2 T apple-cider vinegar

1 and 1/2 vegetable broth cubes

2 T fat free milk

Throw all the ingredients in your vitamix or high speed blender and enjoy

 

I think I am ready for the week! I am excited!
