Peppermint Granola Bars
Ingredients:

1/2 cup rice crispies
1/2 cups mini semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 cup coconut
1/8 cup flax seed

6 drops of Peppermint essential oil
Directions:
1. Mix all dry ingredients together and set aside.
Mix all wet ingredients together . Melt in a sauce pan over medium heat.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix uniformly.
Allow wet ingredients to absorb into dry ingredients. If mixture is too dry, add more coconut oil or honey. If too wet, add more oatmeal.
(This recipe was too dry and I had to add more honey to make it stick together)
Line cake pan with parchment paper. Pour mixture in pan and pat down.
Cook at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until lightly brown.
Orange Peanut butter Sandwich
Ingredients:
Peanut butter
Fresh banana slices
Honey
Orange essential oil
Whole wheat or gluten free bread
Directions:
Mix 2 drops of Orange essential oil into the peanut butter.
After placing on bread with bananas, drizzle with honey.
(Note: I mashed the bananas into the peanut butter with the honey and made it into a spread)
Citrus Bliss Fruit Dip
2 (8 ounce) packages of cream cheese
1 cup vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup honey
2 drops Invigorating Blend essential oil
Use your favorite sliced fruit with this delicious fruit dip
Orange Power Bites
Ingredients:
1 cups finely shredded coconut, divided
1 cup almond butter
1 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons chia seeds
6 drops Orange essential oil
Cocoa powder to coat
Directions:
Place all ingredients into mixer except for half cup shredded coconut
Add Orange essential oil and mix well
Roll into balls and coat in either the other half cup of shredded coconut or cocoa powder
Store in the refrigerator and eat whenever you need any extra boost of energy or before a workout. Great for an after school kids snack.
I also showed everyone how to make safe and effective essential oil hand cleansing gel.
5 Tablespoons Aloe Vera Gel
4 Tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon vitamin E oil
8-10 drops Protective Blend essential oil
Small squeeze container
Mix and pour into the container. Shake well.
Most store bought hand sanitizer products are 60 percent to 65 percent alcohol by volume, according to the Maryland Poison Control Center, which is a higher alcohol content than most hard liquors - so why not make your own safe and effective gel?
