Superfood Popcorn Snack Bars {gluten-free, vegan}
At the movies and in school lunch boxes, popcorn is a beloved treat.
It’s such a fun snack and — contrary to what you may have been told in the past — a healthy one at that!
Just skip the microwaveable popcorn and use Wildly Organic Popcorn Kernels instead!
Superfood Popcorn Snack Bars {gluten-free, vegan}
These Superfood Popcorn Snack Bars take plain ol’ popcorn kernels to another level. They are a cross between crispy puffed rice cereal treats and granola bars — but with the healthy twist of added superfoods.
Sweetened with mineral-rich Wildly Organic agave nectar and Wildly Organic Coconut Sugar, these bars are a wonderful way to satisfy a sweet tooth. The addition of goji berries for antioxidants and cacao nibs for crunch make these Healthy Popcorn Bars a party for your taste buds! With these add-ins, these bars are more nutrient-dense. Chopped soaked and dried almonds provide healthy fat for assimilation of fat-soluble vitamins.
Feel free to experiment with your favorite add-ins — like soaked and dried pumpkin seeds, Brazil nuts, or chia seeds.
Did I mention how simple it is to prepare these bars? Just combine the dry ingredients with the sweet syrup of agave nectar and coconut sugar. The hardest part is waiting for it to “set”!
These are the perfect portable snack! Think school lunches, snacks for your purse or diaper bag, picnics, road trips, and more!
