Snacking made healthier  

Who doesn’t love a good gathering with plentiful food on the table? While it can be hard to stick to a healthy diet when at a party, it’s nice to know that there are alternative snacks that are shareable and easy to prepare without the compromise of flavor. When deciding on what to snack on, remember healthy energy bars are your go-to buddy. This delicious treat is made from ingredients like oats, nuts, seeds, honey, dried fruits, peanut butter, and coconut. Not to mention these ingredients can be beneficial to any diet. Particularly, oats are a great source of fiber called beta-glucan which is known to help lower levels of bad cholesterol.

The nutritional value of healthy energy bars may vary depending on the ingredients used. Though many varieties of energy bars are packed with sugar there are also healthier options as well. When buying, it is important to check the ingredient label and choose products made from natural foods such as fruits and grains. Alternatively, you can opt to make your healthy bar at home. There are bountiful healthy snack bar recipes you can try that are simple to make. Feel free to add your mix-ins of choice to suit your taste.

Convenience 

One best advantage of healthy bars is their convenience to prepare. Once you have all your ingredients ready, all you have to do is combine, have the mixture microwaved or oven-baked, set it on a pan, cut, and serve. There are no-bake granola bar recipes you can try such as oatmeal peanut butter bars, chocolate chip brownie, and cranberry walnut bars to name a few. Also, all these healthy bars can be made gluten and dairy-free so they are an excellent snack option if you have or are expecting guests with food allergies. 

If you are celebrating a special occasion such as an engagement party and have been thinking of a party favor to give your guest, you can prepare a box of an assorted healthy bar. It is a convenient option especially if your guests are traveling. Unlike other meals that would most likely spoil and wouldn’t last long, healthy bars have a reasonably long shelf life if stored properly. Don’t forget to add a handwritten thank you note on the party favors to add a personal touch. Not only is it convenient but it is also budget-friendly. You don’t need to spend as much money as you would on an engagement ring just to serve your guests a memorable gift.
