This Healthy Snack Bar Recipe is a delicious no-guilt way to help you succeed in maintaining a healthy lifestyle and being your best self.
January is the perfect time to reset your goals to make you and your health a priority. A Healthy Snack Bar is perfect to take to work or on a long commute when you get that urge to snack.
Several years ago I was in a real pickle with my weight. The methods that I used for years to keep weight off no longer worked. You see, I’m one of those people that have ALWAYS had to work to keep my weight off, unlike my husband that could eat whatever he wanted most of his life.[Tweet “This Healthy Snack Bar will help with snack attacks!”]
I did get my weight off and once I had a plan and stuck to it, it worked and continues to work to this day. Some of the things that work for me are:
Start your day with a healthy breakfast. Mine consists of a bowl of healthy cereal such as Mom’s Best Cereals Honey Nut Toasty O’s®. One full cup is only 120 calories and contains whole grains and nutrients, including protein, fiber, B vitamins, and antioxidants. Smart food like Mom’s Best® cereals will keep you satisfied. This is an important part of eating for success.
Plan for snacks. You don’t want to deprive yourself when you’re hungry. Watching your weight isn’t a punishment, it’s a choice. A decision you made to take charge of your health.
Drink water! Sometimes when you think you’re hungry, you’re actually thirsty. I take water everywhere! If you think you don’t like water throw in slices of citrus fruit or cucumber.
Move more intentionally. Don’t make excuses, make yourself a priority.
Snacks used to be the most difficult part of my eating plan. If I would let myself get hungry, then it was all over folks, so I made this Healthy Snack Bar Recipe and put individual servings in the freezer. Now I can just grab one on my way to work. They’re a super delicious treat.
Don’t have time to make them now? Pin it for later!
Healthy Snack Bar Recipe

This Healthy Snack Bar Recipe is a delicious no-guilt way to help you succeed in maintaining a healthy lifestyle and becoming your best self.
This recipe was calculated using the exact brands and measurements I used to make this recipe. If you are following a strict diet please note changing anything will cause the nutritional info to change. My calculations are intended as a guide only.
Starving isn’t a smart plan. Look for smart foods that will give you a lot of bang for your nutritional buck. Mom’s Best® have a variety of cereals that are fun, great-tasting cereals with nothing but honest-to-goodness.
“You haven’t failed until you quit.”
Give yourself a break if you stumble. The more you succeed the more empowered you will become. Let’s make 2017 our year!

Hi Cathy! I’m with you on the calories. I have a new recipe calorie counter that I’ll get this recipe in and let you know. If you need that info right away I know there are a couple free resources such as Sparkpeople.com and myfitnesspal.com.
This snack bar looks awesome! I am always looking for healthy snacks for myself and for after school for the kids–this looks perfect! I will have to try this.
This recipe looks amazing!!!!! ๐ I haven’t stopped by in a while, but I am excited to be back!! Hmmm….I have been searching the web for a healthy recipe and this looks like it might fit the bill. Our whole family (all 12 of us) are trying to eat healthier and it is hard to find a recipe that will please parents to 11 year olds, but I bet this one would. Thanks for sharing! โฅ Happy New Year!!!
This recipe looks and sounds delicious! I love the healthy twist – the combination of walnuts, dark chocolate and hemp hearts is really nice. Thanks for sharing with FF:)
Thank you so much, Shirley! I love pepitas in recipes like this, in breads, or on salads. They’re actually a seed and not a nut. I appreciate you stopping by!
Great video Julie….You nailed it:) I too love keeping healthy snacks like these in the refrigerator. They serve as a dessert for me after a meal. It seems to satisfies my sweet tooth. I’m sure the toasty O’s gave them a nice crunch. Happy New Year!
Thank you, Loretta! I really love these nutty little snack bars. I hope you had a wonderful Holiday. Do you have any trips planned? It’s just cold and dark and I’m already dreaming of warmer weather.
This is a great snack after a workout or when you need that little something during the day.
Do you have a calorie count for this? I am counting every bite theses days!

Although I have never tried pepitas, I’m confident they are great as your recipe looks scrumptious! Pinned it so I can give it a try.
