These healthy breakfast bars provide a respectable level of protein and fiber without a ton of calories. Best of all, they can be eaten on the run.

These grab-and-go bars could not be simpler to make! At over 15 grams of protein per bar, they would make a great breakfast or post-workout snack.

Cherry Pie Lara Bars are one of my favorites, but at almost $1.50 per bar and with the ingredients listed as dates, almonds & unsweetened cherries - I thought to myself...hmmm...couldn't I just make these.....the answer...YES...and here is the recipe. Which by the way saves me 89 cents per bar! WOW!

This recipe is easy to adapt with other dried fruits so feel free to play around with some of your favorite flavors!!! Add unsweetened coconut, a dash of cinnamon or cocoa powder....whatever your healthy heart desires. Enjoy!

Usually if a dessert does not have chocolate in one way or another I am not attracted to it. These lemon bars are a lovely exception.

Although these contain approximately 200 calories each, they are an all natural granola bar, rich in omega-3 fatty acid with 4 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein. To save on some calories, you can make this without the ground flaxseed meal and almonds to make each bar approximately 150-160 calories each. If you don't have the dried fruit and nut mixutre, you can just use any kind of dried fruit - raisins, craisins, prunes (chopped), mangoes (chopped), papaya... you get the idea

So easy to make and they taste amazing!

Yummy cereal bars that work for a quick breakfast or a snack. You can substitute the chocolate chips for raisins, different chocolate/candy, nuts, or dried fruit. Feel free to experiment with other kinds of cereal as well.

Saw a commercial of Almond Joy and I thought I can make those Raw, so here they are. Yummmm taste just like them without the loads of sugar.

Inspired by the numerous awesome pumpkin recipes on here. I saw similar recipes for pumpkin muffins but not for bars, which was what I wanted.

Delicious with a dollop of whipped cream. Stays a little softer on the inside thanks to all the pumpkin. :)

Feel free to substitute splenda for the real sugar, egg beaters for the eggs, etc. I used what I had.

Also: I prefer a nice amount of spice in my bars, but reduce the cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice if you don't!
