Nut & Seed Bars – A Great Healthy, Grab and Go Snack
The Perfect Vegan Snack Bar
My interest in eating healthier started with looking at a Macrobiotic diet and I decided to try it for a week and needed a good snack and so this was the perfect snack! I have adapted it to use easier and simpler ingredients, but these delicious bars are great in keeping you full and satisfied!
What is Tahini?
Tahini is grounded up sesame seeds. It’s the key ingredient in a lot of Mediterranean dishes, such as hummus. Using a good quality of Tahini can make a huge difference. Here is a good one to try, Tahini.

Originally, I used Brown Rice Syrup, but I couldn’t find any in 3 different grocery stores that I normally will buy my groceries from; therefore, I decided to try and recreate the recipe using a more common sweetener that is easier to find. This is very simple, quick, and easy to make, so I hope you ENJOY this recipe!
