So before summer greets us into its warm embrace, I am all ready with my bucket list of activities and events that I wish to experience this summer. One of my blogger friends (Sonal) had asked me to list 10 things that make me happy on Instagram some time back. Hoping that this time around everything will fall into place (fingers crossed) and we will soon be on our way to a new place, learning about a new culture, tasting new food and most of all collecting new memories. We have already kick started this year by attending a Bollywood dance workshop, an impromptu trip to Arizona and Vegas and played very fun point scoring game of golf with friends for the very first time 😀.

Just like last time, we have booked a direct flight to Mumbai this time as well since it cuts the overall travel time by 5-6 hrs (14hrs always sounds better than 20 -21 hrs). Socks, phone and backpack is not included in the pic :P 1) Comfortable clothing: You should certainly avoid clothes that are really tight or clothes that may get uncomfortable when traveling for long hours e.g tight jeans. It is always best to choose the most comfortable clothes like light weight sweater, t-shirts paired with long shrugs or long cardigans or a light weight jacket. Don't forget your earphones and load you phone, ipod, ipad with tons of songs or even movies so that when you are bored of the in flight entertainment you always have your favorite songs to listen or movies to watch.

All healthy ingredients minus sugar and homemade makes this energy bar a must try. Feel free to add your favorite nuts in this recipe and enjoy this healthy snack but try and limit yourself to one small bar at a time because this can be very addictive :P. Need more information on Amaranth? I used quick cooking oats and toasted them on a skillet for few mins) 1 and 1/2 cup of crushed medjool dates 1/2 cup of unsalted peanut butter (at room temperature) 2 tbsp of goji berries 1/3 cup of chopped walnuts 1 tbsp of chia seeds 1 tbsp of flax seeds 6) Cut the bars in any shape of your liking and enjoy this perfectly healthy no sugar energy bars :)
