National Granola Bar Day

Today is a day to celebrate the granola bar and the nutrition and energy found in them. There are many different kinds available at grocery stores but recipes for homemade ones are plentiful too.

Granola bars are known for their energy and ease of travel.  They can be high in calories but granola bars are a healthier alternative to other processed snacks. Your body gets more energy and nutrients.  They come in bars but they can also come in energy balls.

Private Home Health Care loves healthy granola bars.  We’d love to share this healthy recipe:

1 cup of oatmeal

½ cup peanut butter

¼ cup honey

1 scoop of either Chocolate or Vanilla Juice Plus Complete Shake Mix

Mix together and form into balls. Roll them in either coconut or melted chocolate chips to finish.  Refrigerate for half an hour and enjoy!
