This recipes comes to us from our dear friends and big fans of Stakich products, Margaret and Jason. They are new, first time parents, and with recently having a kid, they are left with little time to cook. They have been taking advantage of the nap times to whip up quick and easy-to-make snacks that will satisfy their hunger and hold them over until their next meal.
These nutty energy bars are not only delicious, but so simple to make. They remind me of Kind Bars, but without the attached price tag. The nuts provide you with a rich amount of healthy fat, fiber and protein and the honey adds in just the right amount of sweetness. She said for next time, she's going to try them with our Cinnamon Enriched Raw Honey and drizzle dark chocolate on top. Mmm can't wait to try those, too!
Heat honey, brown rice syrup, sea salt and vanilla over medium heat and stir frequently. Remove from heat when instant read thermometer hits about 250 degrees.
Pour syrup over nut mix and stir until combined.
Lay out and press mix into a rectangle. Laying it out on wax paper that's been placed on top of a cutting board is easiest.
Once mixture is cool and set (I placed mine in the fridge for 30 minutes), cut into bars and enjoy!
Every January, we all start with big plans. Eat healthier. Feel better. Finally, take care of ourselves. Then, a few weeks in, those resolutions start to feel like a chore. It’s not that you’re lazy or unmotivated. The real problem? Trying to change everything all at once just doesn’t work. This year, let’s keep things simple. The best habits are the ones that fit naturally into your life, the ones you don’t dread, even on your busiest days.
Whether you're boosting immunity, enhancing energy, or upgrading your daily nutrition, this guide will show you why Stakich bee products can help you in every type of wellness routine.
Propolis is a resinous mixture produced by honey bees when they collect sap from trees and mix it with beeswax and enzymes. The result: nature’s own protective compound, used by bees to seal their hive and guard against bacteria, fungi, and weather. Because of its rich composition of polyphenols, flavonoids, and antimicrobial compounds, propolis is now valued as a “bee-made immunity booster” and “ wellness ally.” PMC+2PMC+2
Let’s get real about honey bees for a second: These little guys are basically the world’s MVPs. You think they buzz around making honey for your toast? Bees: The Real Foodies’ Wingmen, Here’s the serious bit: When bees start dropping off, it’s a big red flag for the environment. They’re like those canaries in the coal mine—if they’re not okay, odds are, we’re messing something up (pesticides, climate, you know the drill). Saving the bees isn’t just about saving honey; it’s about keeping our own butts.
