Good summer snack with fruit

This July 4th treat is fun, festive, and full of summer fruit.

This is the recipe for Granola Bars from Living on a Dime

Crunchy and chewy at the same time! An easy and super healthy snack.

Everyone will love these tasty dessert bars. No one will know they are hiding healthy zucchini inside!

Better than store-bought, these granola bars include healthy almonds, whole grain, natural sweeteners and a touch of fruit.

Who dosn't love these?

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!

Sweet, low-fat granola bars with a zing of cardamom!

Triathlete Brendan Brazier shared these raw energy bar recipes with us. While energy bars can be pricey, you can make them at home to control costs.

This cool salad mixes traditional ingredients with sweet fruits and a sweet vinaigrette dressing for a refreshing summer taste.

Summer's freshest fruit becomes a frosty seasonal treat that's as delicious and refreshing as it is nutritious!

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
