A Good For You FAST Breakfast
By Sydney Hill
As I have typed this recipe, one thought keeps crossing my mind. That is: "Man! I wish I would have made some of these!" I have been so short on time lately (probably many of you are), these would have been perfect! They are so on-the-go, but you actually get some nutrition with it! Time-wise, I ate out this morning but definitely didn't get nutrients that the bars below can provide. I'm full but wanting.
Fast and Healthy usually don't fit in the same sentence. Here, they do! Yay!
