This recipe is easy to make and healthy. The whole family will like them, and the great thing about these protein granola bars is that they can easily customize them. Experiment with different ingredients and add-ins to make them your own! For instance, I made mine with dark chocolate-covered espresso beans, which made for a great pre-workout snack.
