Blueberry Granola Bars — Food and Nutrition

This recipe, Blueberry Almond Granola Bars, was something I found myself making every other week. Often my lunch consists of whiffing down a few bites in between care plan meetings ( working as Registered Dietitain at long term care facility). Eating lunch at 2:30 is not really gonna cut it. It’s simple to make, packed with fiber, and naturally sweetened with honey.

I didn’t want to leave my boys empty handed so I made them Blueberry Coconut Granola Bars to snack on. Caleb loves blueberries and coconut, our is one of his very favorite recipes, so I thought he would like these granola bars too!This time I made Blueberry Coconut Granola Bars for my little pea. I adapted a recipe from my friend book, . She always has the best healthy snack ideas. I used shredded coconut, coconut oil, and coconut extract to make these granola bars. I love the coconut flavor. I stirred in dried blueberries for a pop of color and sweetness.I didn’t want to leave my boys empty handed so I made them Blueberry Coconut Granola Bars to snack on.

They usually all fall apart and end up too dry for my taste. That’s where these chewy no-bake almond blueberry granola bars come in. They’re incredibly quick and easy to make, relatively healthy and highly adaptable. And as a bonus, they’re naturally gluten-free and vegan! Just be sure to buy gluten-free oats.I hope my boys will eat their Blueberry Coconut Granola Bars and think of me while I am gone. And I hope the granola bars balance out the pizza and donuts that Josh will probably give Caleb while I am gone:) Boys will play while mama is away:)Hi, Annie! I love the idea of adding blueberries to granola bars. Plus, since they’re nut free, my kids can take them to school. 🙂 Perfect! Pinned and tweeted!
