Thinking about after school snacks and lunch box ideas? Me too.
I made these yummy treats the other day for my family.
These no-bake granola bars were super simple. I had all the ingredients already in my pantry + my family loved them. I made a double batch to take camping with us over the weekend too. With the list of processed ingredients in many granola/snack bars, this is one sweet treat I could feel good about! It would be perfect in a lunch box or as an after school snack! I adapted the recipe slightly, but mostly this yumminess is credited to the cooking team over at www.twopeasandtheirpod.com.
Here’s where I made some changes. Since I doubled the recipe, most ingredients required 1/2 c. I trimmed the sugar and honey to 1/3 c. I swapped the peanut butter for almond butter and added 2 tbsp. to make up for the lack in honey. These Newman’s Own High Protein Pretzels pumped up the protein content too!
I made another swap at the last minute and decided to use up some dark chocolate covered Goji berries instead of the mini chocolate chips. Hello antioxidants!
We have a winner!

Hi- My daughter’s school has a “no nut policy” -ugh, so I am going to try this with sunflower seed butter. If it works, it may be a great mid-morning snack with a some fruit- stay tuned….
Yes. Sun Butter should be just fine. Have you tried Biscoff Spread? http://www.biscoff.com That would work too. Let me know how they turn out.
This looks amazing! I love healthy snacks especially my gronola bars. If you’d like to see the cecipe {http://leboer.blogspot.de/2011/11/granola-bar-recipe.html} you should really try ’em…
