No-Bake Granola Bars: Only Four Ingredients!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. We all know that but we don't always have time to sit down to a healthy meal. Sometimes, it's all about convenience and grabbing food at a fast food restaurant. For those of us who avoid gluten and soy, it can be challenging to grab something on the go because our food options are so limited. These gluten free no-bake granola bars are perfect for busy mornings, a mid-afternoon snack, or even parties. Once they are prepared, all you have to do is grab one or two out of the fridge and start your day, hassle-free! And, they only take 10 minutes to prepare.
