JWPMS Students Learn Healthy Lifestyle Practices

Posted on April 4, 2014, in Academics, Lancer Life

P1010705

Sixth graders at James W. Parker Middle School learned healthy lifestyle practices this week. Mrs. Toscano’s students, at their request, made No-Bake Energy Bites as part of their healthy eating lesson and also incorporated different cardio stations into their day.

The result? The students requested more healthy lifestyle practices in their school week!

For more pictures, please visit our District Facebook page.

Here’s the recipe they used and a picture of the result:

No-Bake Energy Bites (gimmesomeoven.com)

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Yield: About 3 dozen

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (dry) oatmeal (I used old-fashioned oats)
  • 2/3 cup toasted coconut flakes
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup ground flaxseed or wheat germ
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or cacao nibs (optional)
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp. chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Method

Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed. Cover and let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Once chilled, roll into balls of whatever size you would like. (Mine were about 1″ in diameter.) Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Makes about 20-25 balls.
