Kickstart your day with a crisp Good Morning Superfood Breakfast Bar made with a medley of oats and seeds to get your day going and keep you energized. These are the perfect one-the-go breakfast and snacking. They are more substantial and healthier than a packaged breakfast bar with no additives and can be easily customized based on your preferences.
Create a larger batch of my Good Morning Superfood Breakfast Bar and save them for daily snacks or bites on the go. Leave some at your office, so you have one close at hand when hunger strikes. The addition of maple syrup or agave adds the sweetness that can curb any craving. I’ll have a few bites when I want something dessert-like, and it hits the spot every time.
What Is In This Superfood Breakfast Bar?
You’ll find a few traditional granola bar ingredients along with my favourites like quinoa, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, goji berries, almonds, bananas and whole grain oats. This mixture is a power-house source of nutrients, containing protein, fibre, antioxidants, omega fatty acids, and vitamins and minerals that can improve your immune function.
Goji Berries
Goji berries are a unique fruit. You may know them as Wolfberriers or simply Goji. When consumed in higher numbers, consistently, they can protect the eyes, promote healthy skin and stabilize your blood sugar
