Gluten Free Seed & Fruit Bars Recipe

It seems like this is the time of year when we are always on the run.

I am always telling people the best way to stay on a healthy diet and not cave into the urge to cheat is to be prepared.

When you allow yourself to get too hungry and all you can seem to find close by is junk, well it is sometimes just easier to eat junk.

Having this healthy Gluten Free Seed & Fruit Bars Recipe on hand is one way I keep from falling for temptation. They are sweet enough to seem like a treat and filling enough to stave off hunger. They are also simple to prepare and easy to keep on hand.

I wrap them up and store in the fridge; then, I can grab one or two to take with me when on the run.
