We love quick energy snacks here at EatSmart, but we don’t love the ingredients in many commercial granola bars. We’re looking at you partially-hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup! There are natural, healthy energy bars but they can be so pricey. Our solution is to make our own. We've rounded up a variety of our favorite granola bar and energy bar recipes for you to try. Some don’t even require cooking - who doesn’t love that?
