Mornin’!
I have another recipe for you today, and again, it requires minimal cooking. I don’t know about you, but the last thing I want to do is crank up the oven on these HOT summer days.
As a working gal, I often get a rumble in my tummy between breakfast and lunch. Rather than relying on my favorite (expensive) bars, I figured I’d give my hand at making homemade “power” bars.
My creation was adapted from this recipe. I put a Nutrition Nut spin on it, including substituting the flax seeds with hemp seeds* (I sprinkled them on top of the bars, too).
*Swanson Health Products sent me a few products to sample of my choice, and I’m telling ya, I just can’t get enough healthy hemp in my life – love the nuttiness!
Pick-Me-Up Power Bars
Perfect pick-me-up material for a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack. Loaded with healthy nuts and seeds, these gluten-free & vegan bars are also excellent exercise fuel.
Check out my RECIpage for the full recipe.
Enjoy your Sunday,

ohhhh my gosh, those look amazing.
These look delicious!
Max looked at your teasers and he can’t get them to change with code either… We’re at a loss. Sorry.
Ok, darn.
Love this recipe and I love that they are gluten free! I’m always looking for new g-free bars to try and have a hard time finding granola bars without outs so these are perfect!
These have oats, so you can use GF oats :)
Yah-ummm…!!!
I love hemp seeds! Those bars look delicious.
I need these now! I’m in a killer need for a pick-me-up after today’s run. I love that these don’t have dates in them too, I found that dates are just too coyingly sweet for my taste buds. I’ll probably be making these tomorrow :D
Let me know when you’re in town, I’d love to go for a run with you :)
Yes please! (a run and then some re-fuel perhaps?) I move in August 21st. We’ll keep in touch :D
Sounds like a plan :)
These look fantastic! Love the apricots.
Yes, I always have a snack in between meals around 10 am and 4 pm! These bars look great!
I normally get a little hungry between lunch and dinner. These are awesome. Definitely going to try them!
Congrats on Top 9! These look delicious and energizing!
Thanks! They really are the the perfect afternoon energizer :)
