7 Easy to Make Meals That Are beyond Nutritious ...

To avoid the processed granola bars sold at stores I searched for a healthier, homemade version. And this recipe turned out great! Healthy, no-bake granola bars with just 5 ingredients and a sweet, crunchy texture. Peanut butter and honey complement each other perfectly in this ideal portable breakfast or snack. And if you look at the nutritional content in amazement and think that 20 grams of sugar is ridiculous, be aware that this is from honey, rather than the cane sugar found in granola bars bought at the store. The only added sugar is the honey – the dates have fiber and thus don’t count against your sugar counting (unless you're a diabetic, I don’t know how that works). Honey has 17 grams of sugar per tablespoon and there are 4 tablespoons in the entire recipe, so it's less than 7 grams of added sugar per bar. Much better than store bought. Hope you enjoy!

I found this great recipe by researching A Lovely Side Project since I am hosting Easter this year, and I was floored by just how incredible it came out.

Ready in 30 minutes, this carob freezer fudge is low in sugar while still tasting quite decadent. Feel free to change up the nut butter, sweetener, and mix-ins as you see fit. The coconut oil is necessary in this recipe, though, as it helps solidify the fudge when chilled.

After one of my lovely bootcamp clients brought me plenty of cucumbers from their garden, I found this recipe on Eatingwell.com and I am so glad I did! Hope you enjoy this refreshing summer salad!
