    Nut and Seed Bar

    Are you tried of buying granola bars that have a long list of ingredients?

    Me too! I used to spend way too much time at the grocery store reading long ingredient lists trying to find the healthiest bar.

    Luckily, these Nut and Seed Bars came to the rescue. These bars are made with clean, REAL and simple ingredients. The only sugar in this recipe is honey, but maple syrup or agave can be used as well.

    Ingredient Notes

    • Quinoa
    • Almonds
    • Cashews
    • Honey
    • Chia Seeds
    • Pumpkin Seeds
    • Coconut

    Nutritional Benefits

    With so many nutrient-dense foods in this recipe, you are not only going to be satisfied but energized for your day.

    The quinoa adds a good source of protein in addition to high in both vitamins and minerals. Both the almonds and cashews contain heart-healthy unsaturated fats.

    Chia seeds are an excellent source of fiber. Fiber takes longer for your body to digest, making you feel full for a longer period of time.

    Pumpkin seeds are rich in vitamins and minerals like manganese and vitamin K. They also contain zinc, a mineral that helps the immune system fight bacteria and viruses (Source).

    Last, but definitely not least, let's talk about coconut! Coconuts are especially high in manganese, which is essential for bone health. They’re also rich in copper and iron, which help form red blood cells, as well as selenium, an important antioxidant that protects your cells (Source).
