Vegan Peanut Butter Bars 😍🙏🌸
Peanut Butter Oat Bars
Ingredients
1 ½ cup quick cooking oats (can use old fashioned but they will be chewier)
½ cup almond meal
½ cup flaxseed meal
2 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp salt
1-2 TBS protein powder (optional)
1 tsp vanilla
2 bananas, ripe and mashed
½ cup applesauce
2 TBS creamy peanut butter
2 TBS honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
More peanut butter for the top (about ¼ cup)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x8 square baking dish
In a small bowl combine the dry ingredients (oats, almond meal, flaxseed, salt, cinnamon and protein powder if using), set aside.
In a large bowl mash the banana. Add applesauce, honey, 2 TBS peanut butter and vanilla. Mix well.
Stir dry ingredients into wet until combined. Spread mixture into the pan (should be moist but NOT soupy).
Bake 20 minutes (should be slightly brown around the edges and top should be set), remove from oven and spread peanut butter over the top of the bars (I like a really thick layer of peanut butter but it’s to your own preference)
Continue baking for 10 minutes more or until firm and lightly browned around the edges. At this point the peanut butter layer will have tiny little bubbles in it.
Cool completely in the refrigerator and cut into 6 or 9 bars. Wrap each with plastic wrap and store in an airtight container in the fridge for a quick grab and go breakfast!
Enjoy ..!

Vegan Choccie Treat
•13 vegan Digestive biscuits (You may use any plain, sweetened wholemeal biscuit that is vegan if you are unable to find vegan Digestives if you are in the States or Canada you may use Graham Crackers)
•½ cup of walnuts
•½ cup of vegan butter, or coconut oil melted
•2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
•1 tsp coffee powder
•1 heaped tbsp icing sugar, or confectioner’s sugar powder
•zest of an orange or tangerine
•a pinch of salt
NOTE :
If you live in the UK, the Coop stock vegan Digestive biscuits (http://veggies.co.uk/2011/09/10/cooperative-wholemeal-digestives/), and also Marks & Spencer Digestive bicuits are vegan. If you are in North America, Graham’s crackers are a good alternative to Digestives.
METHOD FOR BASE
So, first grease an 8 inch tin, and line it with greaseproof paper. Then break the digestive biscuits into a processor, and process until crumbs are formed. Next add the cocoa powder, the coffee powder and icing sugar – pulse for a few seconds. Now add the walnuts to the processor, and process for a few moments – we do NOT want them powdered. Then add the melted vegan butter or coconut oil to the biscuit crumbs, and process for a half a minute. Next, add the zest and process again for a few seconds. Your base is ready to add to your tin – spoon this mixture into your lined container, and flatten evenly with your fingers and the palms of your hands. Now place this in the fridge for an hour or so until cooled. Now time to make your filling.
INGREDIENTS FOR FILLING
•1 packet (349g) Firm Silken Tofu
•125g dark chocolate, melted either in the microwave or bain marie
•3 tbsp cocoa powdered mixed with 50 ml of hot water (mix into a paste, allow to cool for a few minutes)
•2 tbsp agave syrup
•1 tbsp icing sugar, or confectioner’s sugar
•shavings of dark chocolate for topping and decoration
METHOD FOR FILLING
Place the tofu into your processor, and add the remaining ingredients. Process gently for a minute or so, until the ingredients are well blended and smooth. Spoon filling onto the biscuit base with a plastic spatula, and even out as best you can. Now add shavings of your dark chocolate on top to decorate. Next, cover with foil and place in the refrigerator overnight.

Cat Cow Yoga Pose - Yoga Meditation Studio Palm Beach YMSPB
Simple Cat Cow Pose
- A very simple but beneficial Yoga pose to practice, helps to loosen the spine and relax before practicing meditation.
- Begin in neutral cat. On your mat - kneel on all fours, knees under hips and hands under shoulders. Nice flat back.
- Spread the fingers wide with the middle finger pointing towards the short edge of your mat. Be aware of the pads at the base of each finger as they contact the mat.
- Slowly inhale and look up. Lengthening away from your shoulders, keeping your neck long as you lengthen your shoulders down and away from your ears.
- Open your chest towards the front, taking the belly button towards your mat. Feel the gluts seperate.
- Exhale, lower the head, chin towards the chest, keeping the back of the neck long as you round your back towards the ceiling.
- Firm your belly and press the gluts together.
- Repeat for 4 to 6 breaths, moving smoothly between each move. Always practice with awareness of your breath and how your body feels. Keep it safe.
Benefits Cat pose alleviates stress, helps stretch the back of your neck and torso and gently massages your belly and abdominal organs. When combined with cow pose, cat pose can help to develop breath control and awareness, which is one of the most important lessons you can learn from a yoga practice.
Contraindications
The cat pose is generally not advised for people who have suffered a recent back or neck injury or have acute or chronic neck or back pain. If you have a stiff upper back, it may be difficult for you to round your upper back.
Disclaimer:
Before attempting any of these stretches seek advise from your doctor. We can not and will not be responsible for any injury caused by your attempt to stretch following these instructions.
If you would like to learn how to practice this and other yoga asanas in a class environment you are very welcome to contact us. Leave us a comment along with your details and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

YMSA - Meditation Kirtan Studio Suffolk Park Byron Bay - Meditation Evening, Vegetarian dinner
The most basic teaching of the yoga system is that a person is not the material body, or the mind, but the eternal spirit soul, residing only temporarily within the body.
“Where there is a material body there is also a spiritual body.”
(1 Corinthians 15:44)
"Know that which pervades the entire body is industructible. No one is able to destroy the imperishable self."
(B.G 2:17)
- Just as the body needs food in order to survive and be satisfied, the soul also needs spiritual food in order to feel truly alive and happy.
- Meditation is the activity of using the mind to deeply reflect and focus continuously on spiritual matters.
Our family gets together about once a month, with a group of friends to practice a very enjoyable and easy to do meditation. This meditation involves the use of sacred mantras and is a very ancient method of meditation, based on scientific principles.
The natural outcome of this practice is peacefulness, serenity and the gradual awakening of spiritual insights. This is the perfect meditation for this age.
The natural outcome of this practice is peacefulness, serenity and the gradual awakening of spiritual insights. This is the perfect meditation for this age.
A beautiful voice is not necessary for this practice, but we do encourage people to listen carefully to the mantra's and sing from their heart. We use musical instruments to support our meditations so if you play an instrument and would like to bring it along with you just let us know.
We would also like to invite you to share a simple but delicious vegetarian dinner with us. You are welcome to contribute a vegan or vegetarian food item if you feel so inclined. That would be most appreciated. You can contact us if you are not sure what to bring. On saying that, let me assure you that there is absolutely no pressure or necessity to bring anything apart from yourself. You - having your first meditation experience with us is what is most important.
We Live In Suffolk Park:
We have a nice relaxing meditation place in Suffolk Park so you will be comfortable and we're pretty sure you will have a nice evening.
Suffolk Park is only 5 minutes from the centre of Byron Bay, offering visitors a more leisurely pace. Most of Byron Bay’s residents live in Suffolk Park which understandably creates a more laid back atmosphere and unhurried tranquility away from the typical touristy spots in the Byron town centre.

Our local area has a carefree charm about it. Sandwiched between the Cape Byron and Broken Head headlands, you will find the splendid Tallow’s beach surrounded by natural bushland, great surf breaks and unspoilt stretches of white sand and blue ocean. A perfect back drop for a leisurely stroll and a great spot to practice meditation.
If you are a visitor and are all "beached out", you can also take in the peacefulness of ‘Byron Bay’s secret tea tree lake’. This lake is a sacred and traditional site for the local indigenous Bundjalung women and a beautiful spot to visit and experience the therapeutic and refreshing waters. Nothing like a good soak in the lake followed by a little relaxing meditation to help counteract stress and unwind.
If you are in our area and would like to join us to learn more about this wonderful practice of meditative kirtan we would like to invite you to contact us.
Leave a comment below and include your details. We will get back to you as soon as we can.
