Go for Protein
Tired of the same old bacon and sausage? Get your morning dose of protein with these whey-infused breakfast bars. Cherry-Chia and Pistachio Breakfast Bars Makes 12 bars These dense-and-chewy breakfast bars are fortified with protein-rich whey for extended energy on the go. Dried cherries add extra flavor and a powerful dose of antioxidants. We used chia seeds and pistachios for added protein and fiber, plus a healthy dose of omega-3 fats. You can swap out the pistachios for almonds, macadamias, or cashews, or use pumpkin seeds for a nut-free version.
