It was January 1st and I resolved to use up some of the superfoods stored in my pantry. I walked in to face bags of chia, hemp, flax, seeds, cacao and more. A Holistic Health Coach’s playground! But how to use them all in a delicious, easy, family friendly way? And then it hit me: Breakfast Bars! I took all of the superfoods out of my pantry, spread them out on the counter and grabbed a large mixing bowl, measuring cups and a wooden spoon. In went a little of this and a little of that until the ultimate kickstart to the day concoction was formed.
Full of fiber, protein, omega 3s, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, these no-fail bars are a great way to start your morning or to keep you going through the afternoon. Little 11 month old Olivia even loves to gnaw away at them!
