I make my own no bake power bars with oats, peanut butter, honey, dried fruit, and nuts.

Warm 1/2 a cup of peanut butter and 1/3 cup honey and stir until smooth, add 1 cup quick oats, and 1/3 cup of nuts and dried fruit and press this into a 9 by 9 baking pan and chill for a few hours.

Cut into 8 bars, wrap them in foil and you are good to go... each bar is about 200 calories and has a good mix of carbs, protein, and fat and provides sustained energy with the honey and oats. The dried fruit and nuts add some extra energy and zip... I like roasted almonds and cranberries best.

You can play with the honey amount... the bars will come out fine with 1/4 cup of honey.
