These tasty breakfast bars are a perfect way to start the day.  If you often find yourself eating on the run due to a busy schedule then this is a guilt free addition to your bag.  Grabbing food on the go often results in pointless packaging and less fresh food choices.  If you have a stack of these in your fridge waiting to go then life will be one step closer to being organised!
You may already know that porridge oats are a source of beta-glucans, but do you know what they do?  Consumption of beta-glucans from oats as part of a meal contributes to the reduction of the blood glucose rise after that meal (this is why porridge keeps you going).
Get started with this nutritious breakfast full of protein, fibre and good fats to keep you going all morning.
Be creative with the ingredients to add extra flavour and nutrition.
