I always make sure to have a quick grab ‘n go breakfast in my house. For the times when I am rushed (every day) and I don’t have time to sit down. Or for the times when I’m cooking dinner and I need to snack on something. I have labeled these as breakfast bars but they’re pretty much all day bars in this house:) These easy protein breakfast bars are packed with fiber and protein. They’re a great way to start your day.

This recipe is extremely versatile. You can add in whatever your heart desires! Coconut flakes, choc chips, peanuts, hemp hearts, or flaxseed. The options are endless when it comes to granola bars:)
