Packable Granola
Bars
We like to take our kids on nature walks, and
what better snack to bring than granola bars?
They are a nice balance of sweet and chewy
goodness wrapped up in an easy to carry bar
that even Bodhi can handle with ease.

1/2 cup dried cranberries or cherries
1/4 cup wheat germ

(Bodhi LOVES it when we add this special
treat in!)
I love this recipe because it’s simple, tasty and
healthy. My kids are always starving when they
get home from school, no matter what, and this
super green gives them a mega dose of Vitamin
A, Vitamin C, and B-12. Serve this with a side of
popcorn and you will have a great after school
snack.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a
ceramic or glass 9 x 13 baking dish and line with
parchment paper.
