ColleenWaitWrites: #Runergy

Why the blog?

I write as the Spirit moves me. I have prayed about what I'm supposed to do with my life a lot. A lot. Writing. Writing is what I believe God is leading me to do. Whether or not He wants me to write for anyone to read is His business. Much of my writing has been therapy for me so maybe I'm the only one who is supposed to read it. So, why the Blog? As a sounding board, a note pad, a place to keep my ideas and thoughts. A place to share and promote my books, and photography. Written prayers, a place to vent. Possibly, even a place for the unknown reader to learn about the love of Jesus.

#Runergy

What is #Runergy?

Good question.

#Runergy is energy. It is fuel. It is food, but not just any food. It is food to sustain your body through a tough work out, a long run, and a busy, hectic life on the run.

This is the first recipe I dubbed "#Runergy":

#Runergy Bar

I won't post the full recipe yet, because I haven't perfected it.

Basically it is made of raw honey, rolled oats, almonds, dark chocolate or cocoa beans, coconut, puffed amaranth, salt, and dried fruit. I consume half of one of these 3-inch bars before a long run and the other half after an hour. Keeps me going strong.

If you have food allergies (I'm allergic to dairy) and are looking for a natural product to replace the prepackaged stuff you buy in stores, try #Runergy. You'll be glad you did.

This morning, I made another batch of chocolate pudding. This time with a little peanut butter. Yummy.

2 avocados, 2 TBS raw honey, 1 TBS natural peanut butter (peanuts+salt), 3 TBS cocoa powder, 3 TBS coconut milk, 1 tsp vanilla. Puree and chill.
