Energy Bars- Copycat Kind Bars

I did not come up with this idea, but I love it! I am naming this energy bar a copycat kind bar because it reminds me of a kind bar, taste and texture wise. I also changed the nuts and seeds in the original recipe to the ones I prefer!

You be sure to do the same and make it your own! You and I can all thank the lovely German lady on YouTube, Lena, (from Sweet and Healthy) who made these little rounds and called them cookies.

Trust me, they are not cookies!

But they are simple to prepare, low in natural sugar (honey), and full of protein and yumminess! She has many ideas, and they are all low in natural sugar.

The only reason I am posting this as a recipe here is so I can calculate my nuts and seeds of choice in the recipe plugin and see the macronutrients available in these energy bars.

Each energy bar round has 10 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber, and only 2 grams of natural sugar.

Benefits of Energy Bars

Nuts and seeds are rich in heart healthy fats! They are good sources of protein and fiber, too!

Not only that, but nuts and seeds in these bars provide good source of vitamin E, some B vitamins, magnesium, potassium, selenium, and zinc.

They help us feel satisfied after a nice salad, keep us feeling full longer, and have just enough sweetness to feel like an indulgence!

Can you imagine drizzling some honey and salt over the top? Or maybe, adding dark chocolate chips?

There are so many ways to make them your own! Have fun experimenting with them!
