Craving an energizing snack, but you would like to avoid the sugar and trans-fat loaded candy bars and other junk food? And not spend too much time in the kitchen while at it? Then, you have come across the perfect recipe. Thanks to their high omega-3 content from the chia and flax seeds, these apple bars will keep you going for hours. On top of that, they are made entirely with natural ingredients, such as nuts, seeds and fruit, and are bursting with juiciness thanks to the apples. And they only take about 10 minutes to make!
