Homemade Granola Bars + Stress Busting Tips

If you’re reading this recipe, you might have seen me talk about it on CTV this morning! I was on there chatting about some stress busting tips, from a lifestyle and a food perspective.

There are two great things about this recipe that are important as it relates to stress. First of all, the recipe contains a fermented protein powder from Genuine Health. The reason this rocks is because fermented foods are great for your tummy and your digestion, both which can be thrown for a loop when you’re stressed.

Secondly, the recipe contains lots of almonds & chia seeds, which are great sources of magnesium, a calming nutrient.

This is a grain free, higher protein version of my healthy granola bars – I hope you love it!

  5. Take the mixture and press into a rectangular glass tupperware dish, or a loaf pan.
  6. Freeze for 30-60 minutes
  7. Take out of the freezer and gently cut, so they do not fall apart
