No-Bake Power Bars

Pumpkin, chia and sunflower seeds, coconut, almonds, dried cranberries, flaxseed meal and oats make these delicious No-Bake Power Bars the ideal energy-packed snack for your busy day.

Simple Ingredients, Lasting Energy Boost

If your summer days are as hectic as ours, you’re going to love these No-Bake Power Bars. Jam packed with peanut butter, almonds, coconut, three kinds of seeds, oats and flaxseed meal and sweetened with honey, they’re an absolute powerhouse of energy.

Stock Your Fridge!

Between my Trail Mix Bars, No-Bake Energy Bites and these power bars, my fridge is always stocked with easy-to-make hearty snacks I can just grab and go. They’re perfect for lunchboxes and hiking snacks when you need to refuel. Even when the day is a little more calm (hey, sometimes it happens!), they’re so delicious to nibble on while I sip my coffee.

Don’t Slow Your Roll

A make ahead snack that doesn’t compromise on nutrition or quality ingredients. With four kids and four different summer schedules, a business and a calendar that just doesn’t quit, I don’t always have time to slow down for the snack I definitely need. These bars are filling and full of great things my body needs. Protein, fiber, healthy fat and a little sweetness from honey. I swear, they’re getting me through the day this summer!
