Notes
On a hectic morning when you didn’t have time to prepare breakfast for yourself or the little ones. The entire family can enjoy these with a glass of plant milk or a cozy tea.
Take them on that long road trip. If there’s one thing we know for sure is that road trips need lots of snacks to avoid too many stops along the way, or to keep the little ones calm and content. These bars would be perfect to enjoy in the car while singing some good tunes and daydreaming about our destination.
Mid-Afternoon Snack: When the clock strikes 3 or 4 we tend to crave something sweet and filling to make it until dinner time. These Chewy Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Granola Bars would hit the right spot and give us the energy to keep on going with our busy day.
