It’s Eliteam time of year. Time for kids to gather in Utah and Vermont where Doug and Kelley Lewis and their crew of amazing coaches will put them through their paces and teach them about becoming “complete athletes.” 

That means it’s also time to crank our some Positive Snacks for hungry active kids. Well, to be more clear. It’s time for hungry active kids, as complete athletes, to learn how to crank out their own seriously good Positive Snacks. (Check last year’s Eliteams Banana Yogurt Bread  Go-Go donuts from last year.)

No bake, all good! The kids even do the dishes afterwards. Boom!

This is what the Eliteam kids are mixing up this week to keep them going strong.
It’s the perfect snack to store in the freezer for a quick burst of energy. If you want to make them nut free use sunflower seed butter.
