I can’t get by a day without a snack or two. If you reached into my jacket pocket, you’d surely find a GoMacro wrapper. I’m known to have a banana in my purse and a packet of peanut butter with me wherever I go. Why? Because without food, I’m HANGRY and it’s bad. Throughout the years, I’ve learned to be prepared for when hunger strikes.
The good news is that I’ve got an incredible nourishing snack recipe for you: I’ve officially made these peanut butter granola bars multiple times since I first developed the recipe a few years ago. They’re just so good!
The best part is that they’re incredibly customizable. You could make a new version every week for yourself, the kiddos, friends & family and never get sick of them. Snack. Heaven.
