This was given to me by a friend, I was really surprised at how much it really helps when I feel tired. I keep mine in the freezer then pull a couple out when I need a pick-me-up and they are ready for me to eat. You can substitute almond butter for peanut butter, if desired.

This is adapted from a Lundberg Rice recipe. No sugar or HFCS here - this uses brown rice syrup instead. You can substitute any dried fruit in for the apricots such as cranberries, raisins, or dates and any nuts for the walnuts such as peanuts, almonds, or pecans. Lots of room for variation!!
