    The heart-healthy power bars have all the ingredients one might have on a banana split: made with quinoa, rolled oats, dried cherries, nuts and honey. Plus antioxidants from the cinnamon and chocolate and they taste good too!

    I love making bars for the easiest on-the-go snack. A few of my favorites are Chewy Pecan Raisin Chocolate Granola, Skinny Cranberry Bliss Bars and Morning Maple Cranberry Pecan Oat Bars. Alt=,These make a great snack, perfect to pack in your lunch bag, or great for powering up a workout or post-workout. While these bars werent a big hit with my picky 3 year old, I thought these were tasty (I think shell love the chocolate chip protein cookies). For variations of this, you can make a Maple Blueberry Bar, swapping out the cherries and honey for maple syrup and dried blueberries, or she suggests a Peanut Chocolate Banana Bar omitting the cinnamon and cherries and adding 2/3 cup of dry roasted peanuts in place of the walnuts.,To store, wrap them individually with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months, keeping them airtight.
