Healthy Homemade Granola Bars

Granola bars are such a great to-go snack! However, the plastic wrappers are not so great. We are so excited to share an amazing recipe created by our friend @magdaroni. This simple granola bar recipe not only helps you ditch the plastic packaging, but also avoids the added sugars and artificial ingredients that are too often hidden in granola bars. As the Holidays come around, these bars can be a great low waste gift idea for loved ones! 

We love these bars because we know exactly what ingredients are in them..whole real foods without any weird ingredients we can't pronounce. These healthy bars
