Muesli and granola bars are a very important part of the diet of the average person.
Especially since they are very easy to eat on the go.
Many people automatically think it is a healthy snack because it says muesli or granola. But the exact opposite is true.

Those are the healthy ingredients. But to make it into a bar and to add flavor, the bars most of the times contain:
And those are the ingredients you want (and need) to avoid.
These ingredients are especially in granola bars you can buy in stores like Walmart, Target and Woolworth's.

The low-carb granola bar recipe below contains many healthy ingredients. For example, it contains nuts, seeds and grated coconut. If you like peanut butter, you can also add a tablespoon of peanut butter.
