Energy bars are the perfect nutritious treat, whether you have them as a healthy snack or enjoy them before or after a workout. But most energy bars are not just hideously expensive and in plastic packaging, but most contain palm oil and other dodgy ingredients. Just make your own, and store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Peanut Butter Granola Bars (Minimalist Baker) are naturally sweetened with maple syrup anad dates, and you can add optional dried blueberries or strawberries.
Keep energy bars away from children, due to nuts/eeds. Keep energy bars away from pets, due to toxic ingredients like nuts, seeds, chocolate etc. Never use xylitol sweetener (lethal) near pets.
