School has started or will be starting for many children, and with that comes back routine, scheduling, and of course preparing lunch and healthy snacks for them. I have been making this recipe for over 15 years for my son. It has become incredibly popular over the years with all his teammates in track and field. Packed with nutrition, this makes the ultimate snack for those high energy kids. Another nutritionally packed recipe to try are my Fuel to Go Muffins.
The chia and hemp seed add that extra boost of essential amino acids, omega-3 fats, fibre and a whole lot more! I make enough to last the week, cut into squares and wrap individually for easy to go healthy snacks. Your kids will love the exceptional taste of these homemade protein bars! Use any kind of dried fruit you have on hand such as blueberries, cranberries, apricots, sour cherries, raisins,  and figs.

  1. Hi can you omit the brown sugar because for me with the corn syrup and honey that’s “enough sugars”! Will it still all stick together well?

    Delicious! But mine fell apart terribly. I did put peanuts in, which I should’ve chopped, and I also chopped up crystalized ginger, which is so tasty. Just not sure what I need to do to make them hold together.
