Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Add in Wet ingredients (PB, Agave, and vanilla). Stir until combined. You may need to use your hands.
(TIP: If your PB is hard vs. runny, you may need to bring the agave to a boil on the stove, remove immediately, add in the PB and vanilla and stir to melt the PB. You don’t want to overcook the agave or it will burn!).
Press mixture down into ungreased 9 x 13 in. glass dish.
For Fun:
Sprinkle 1/2 cup chocolate chips across the top of the bars. Set oven to BROIL. Broil for 1 minutes, NO MORE. Remove immediately and spread melted chocolate chips across the top of the bars. Refrigerate and cool. Cut into squares and enjoy your healthy “Reese’s cup” treat!
* Our favorite in this recipe is the Shaklee LIFE PROTEIN. You can use any of the Shaklee protein powders for this recipe and it will come out pretty close to the same.
**The Shaklee Instant Soy Mix Protein is flavorless and is a substitute for flour in other recipes. If you use that protein you may need to add a bit more agave as it’s flavorless and unsweetened. We keep this on hand at all times to replace flour in recipes like pancakes, cookies, and sauces–it’s a great way to cut back on the flour and carbs!
** If you use Almond Butter instead of Peanut Butter, cut back on the agave or it will taste too sweet! If using peanut butter, try to avoid PB with added sugar or preservatives. Get Natural or Organic PB.

inHormones Increase Frequency Of Inherited Form Of Migraine In Women
(December 26, 2008) — Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) is an inherited form of severe migraine that is accompanied by visual disturbances known as aura. As with other types of migraine, it affects women more frequently than men. New research in mice has now provided insight into events in the brain that lead to FHM and demonstrated that hormones produced by the ovaries increase susceptibility to FHM. … > full story

(December 11, 2008) — Scientists have demonstrated that sugar can be an addictive substance, wielding its power over the brains of lab animals in a manner similar to many drugs of abuse. Researchers found profound behavioral changes in rats that, through experimental conditions, have been trained to become dependent on high doses of sugar. Lab animals that were denied sugar for a prolonged period after learning to binge worked harder to get it when it was reintroduced to them. They consumed more sugar than they ever had before, suggesting craving and relapse behavior. … > full story

Problems managing polycystic ovarian syndrome? It may not be due to lack of willpower. Instead, you could be Insulin Resistant, a root cause of PCOS. Scientists at the National Institutes of Health, Stanford University and other research centers have clearly identified the existence and effects of Insulin Resistance, a biochemical condition that can cause excessive weight gain and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a hormonal imbalance linked to the way the body processes insulin after it has been produced by the pancreas to regulate blood sugar (glucose). Insulin Resistance could be caused by:
Over time, the above factors have damaged the complex ability of the body’s cells to properly utilize insulin to convert glucose to energy. This process creates Insulin Resistance.
Insulin Resistance can also cause PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) is by raising insulin levels in the blood stream. Unhealthy lifestyles and genetic conditions can lead to the pancreas overproducing insulin. This excess insulin stimulates the ovaries to produce large amounts of the male hormone testosterone, which may prevent the ovaries from releasing an egg each month, thus causing infertility. High levels of insulin also increase the conversion of androgens (male hormones) to estrogens (female hormones), upsetting a delicate balance between the two and having a direct effect on weight gain and the formation of cystic follicles or ovarian cysts.
The symptoms vary widely from woman to woman. Because the symptoms vary so widely and not all women display all the symptoms, doctors very often misdiagnose PCOS. This became an issue of critical concern after a study in 2000 found that women suffering from PCOS have a higher risk of coronary heart disease.
