Between lacrosse, soccer, music lessons, I need a rest day but I know I won't get one! One these crazy days, I always make sure I have healthy snacks with me so I stay away from a fast food fix. These healthy energy bars are the perfect snack to keep in my bag. They are delicious and healthy and fill me up when I need a snack or a bit of energy!

Who isn't on-the-go all the time? I try to keep myself prepared for the day. Plenty of water and fruit and I need a go-to snack! These homemade energy bars are just the ticket! So easy to prepare and they bake in about 25 minutes.

Can these homemade energy bars be frozen?

It's your lucky day! These healthy bars freeze really well. I make the recipe and slice them. I place wax paper in between the pieces and freeze to eat later. They defrost in the fridge.

How long to these healthy energy bars keep in the fridge?

Well covered and wrapped, these bars keep in the fridge for about 2 weeks.

Can energy bars replace meals?

While I am not a doctor or nutritionist, please never use an energy bar to replace a meal. These are a healthy snack in addition to a well-balanced diet.  Speak with your doctors for very specific calorie intake.

Tips to Make Homemade Energy Bars:

  • The variations in energybars are endless. What is most important is to use clean ingredients like coconut oil

I now double and sometimes triple these homemade energy bars because why not, they are delicious! The ability to keep them in the fridge/freezer makes me so happy because store-bought bars don't do a lot for me!  The number of preservatives and ingredients I cannot pronounce are out of control.These bars are just so tasty and moist. Also, the most versatile recipe. After making a few times, I swapped out some of the nuts.  I had an abundance of pecans, I know, lucky me..super delicious! This is freezer friendly, 30 minutes or less and delicious!
