I can’t say enough good things about these bars. No syrups, artificial ingredients, or colors. Minimal, clean and good-for-you ingredients, and takes less than 10 minutes to pull together.

We have always been a physically active family and need snacks that are clean and healthy. This bar takes barely any time to make, is no-bake and is easy to take with you. They hold well in lunch-boxes, sports bags and school bags and easy for breakfast on the go.

I have 2 flavors of these and have included both. Less than 20 minutes for both and store them in the fridge for up to a week (that’s if they are not all eaten up before that!)
