I love breakfast! I’ve always been a huge fan of any breakfast foods, and I try my best to eat a healthy, well-balanced breakfast. Don’t get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy the occasional french toast or really, donuts, haha, but obviously not everyday. During the week life can get busy, so finding a breakfast that is easy to make ahead of time, and is grab and go, is awesome!
These breakfast bars are packed with protein from LOTS of different sources. They contain pistachios, almonds, flaxseed, walnuts, pepitas, hemp hearts and almond butter. Plus, some agave syrup, applesauce and dried blueberries to sweeten it up. These are not only incredibly easy to make, but super delicious and filling! I had one this morning, along with an apple, and my stomach is very satisfied.
This recipe is also very easy to substitute out flavors and add in others. Instead of dried blueberries, raisins, dried cranberries or really, any dried fruit could work! Next time I make these, I may try something different. If you’re not a fan of some of these nuts, exchange them for some you do! If you omit any ingredients however, make sure you adjust another nut to make sure these hold up okay.
Below is the recipe for you to enjoy!
