Families with children can find plant-based dieting a bit of a challenge from the beginning. It definitely takes a bit more work and planning but the outcome is healthier, for them, and for the planet.

These bars are loosely based on ones I came across on OneGreenPlanet. I wasn’t quite happy with how they turned out so I made some adjustments and came up with my own version.

They are also a great source of nutrients with protein powder, peanut butter, almonds, and seeds. I used sesame seeds and raw, sliced almonds but next time I may try some sunflower seeds and/or nuts to add more bang per bite. If you are allergic to nuts but chopped peanuts are o.k., substitute them for the almonds.

ENJOY!

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4-1 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or agave
  • 4 Tbl. unsweetened vegan protein powder

  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds roasted
  • 1/2 cup almonds raw and sliced
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg

Directions

  1. Mix all ingredients in large bowl.
  2. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
