Granola Bars
Granola bars are a perfect, delicious snack you can take also to go. They are filling, tasty and contain lots of protein. Dried cranberries bring just enough sweetness into these bars. The recipe is gluten-, dairy- and refined sugar free.
I love to take these granola bars as a snack to practice. They are great to eat before or after training. The bars keep you full for a long time.
The recipe is so easy and there are only six ingredients in this recipe. If you don´t like dried cranberries, you can replace them, for example, with raisins or dark chocolate. Peanut butter can also be replaced with other nut butters like almond butter. Use nuts you like the most. I used pecan nuts because they are low in FODMAPs. The milk can also be changed to any other plant-based milk or you could also use orange juice or apple juice (high in FODMAPs).

What is the calorie count? Nutrition breakdown?
I try not to count the calories of my recipes because I have had a lot of problems with eating obsessively healthily. There is a lot of peanut butter which has quite a lot of calories but also contains lots of protein. I´d say one bar has about 250-300 calories and 10 g protein.I hope this helped even a little!:)
Thank you!
