Puffed Quinoa, Date & Peanut Butter Bars
June 23, 2019
We're all about a bar or slice prepped in the fridge for the week. It keeps us from reaching for the not-so-healthy option when we're hungry and in a jam. Its another way to pack some nutrients into our diet, and if we make sure it has some protein on board, its great for a breakfast on the run and/or to smash that 3pm slump.
This tasty little number does all of the above. Its also economical, quick & easy AND its gluten free. Read on friends, read on.
