One of my favorite options for a quick breakfast is a granola bar and a banana. This "protein and carbohydrate packed" treat is perfect to help me refuel after my morning run and keep me satisfied until lunch!
In an effort to create my own version, limit the unnecessary sugars and avoid another trip to the grocery store, I sought out to find a recipe on Pinterest. What I came to find was that most recipes called for a plethora of ingredients, which inturn would cost me more than simply purchasing a box of Nature Valley's finest ;)
Before giving up on my search, I stumbled upon this recipe which only requires 5 ingredients. These ingredients are: dates, agave (honey could be used as a substitute), almond butter, unsalted almonds and rolled oats. When making these bars I also included dried cherries for a boost of sweetness and chia seeds for added energy!
Not only did my morning routine appreciate this "creative shakeup", but I can honestly say that I felt incredibly energized to run my half marathon after eating one of these bars last Sunday!
