An easy snack alternative, something sweet and easy when you're on the run. Whole family loves them as a bonus! (My Dad thought he was enjoying a naughty chocolate treat)

This recipe is packed full of both quick and sustained energy for a convenient grab and go breakfast or pick me up snack.It is very adaptable. I like to make with chopped macadamias, hazelnuts, almonds, cashews, pepitas, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds. I've also added cacao nibs. Whatever I have in pantry. For fruit I like to use cranberries and raisins but is fun to try different variations.The final bars can be a little crumbly, depending on the mix, so we keep in the freezer and they are best when eaten straight away, without thawing. If they crumble too much when cutting I just squeeze the crumbs into a ball or log shape and this works just as well as a bar shape.

Definitely delicious and a great energy restorer after heavy workouts or cardio. You'll be tempted to even eat it as a dessert after any meal. ;) (**Disclaimer: I would highly suggest you not eat these bars or other items with protein powder in them unless having been doing intense physical activity, for they can be very unhealthy if eaten on a lazy day.)

Found a link for kid energy bars with no nuts and made it my own. Obviously if your kid has nut allergies you would have to buy dried fruit separately.

Four ingredients, Gluten-free and Vegan! These are some of the easiest bars I have ever made. A great low waste snack for on the go. Ps the random nut bar in the corner is another recipe lol.

easy to make and fun to eat...great for the kids after school snack! :cookie

I copied a different recipe and modified it

These Energy Bars are the most decadent yet healthy thing to emerge from my kitchen this week, and let me tell you they are worth every crunchy bite! They are the perfect bake-sale treat, hiking snack, or healthy homey dessert. Or have one for breakfast, with your morning cuppa or a glass of milk.These home-made energy and protein bars are super healthy because they do not contain any butter or flour. Filled with the goodness of creamy house-made peanut butter and an assortment of nuts and dates, this delicious recipe is definitely a keeper.

No bake homemade snack bars. Note: Above is chocolate chip, dried strawberry, flax seed. Some other combinations: dried blueberry, sunflower seeds, almonds. Raisin, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. Cocoa and dried raspberries.

I used monk fruit sweetener with erythritol, I should’ve used powdered one. If you don’t have powdered sugar, you just use a spice or coffee grinder to make granulated sugar to powdered.
