It gives me an option to play around with my choice of ingredients and add as much nutrition as possible. These nut free vegan bars are my latest addiction.

The combination of fresh strawberries blended with pure maple syrup and folded into quinoa flakes is outstanding. Simple steps and simple ingredients make these bars all the more desirable.

This time of the year we plan for more outdoor activities especially hiking and marathons. This is the time when we need healthy replenishment to be able to enjoy our sport activities energetically. Even if we are camping we want some quick grab and go snacks. 

Keeping the weather and its related activities in mind I came up with Strawberry Quinoa Breakfast Bars.

These bars are calling out to all my health conscious readers who are looking for healthy yet delicious snacks for in between meals to keep up their metabolism. These bars serve well as a pre – workout snack. All in all these are versatile and healthy option for summer and suits every age group’s taste buds.

These are easy to make and no babysitting is required for these bars.

Just whip up the ingredients and put it in the oven. Bake it until done. Let it cool completely before cutting it into slices. Store in the refrigerator and enjoy for the entire week.

The only caveat in this recipe is that I used quite a bit of maple syrup. However, I tried this recipe with many other options and tried some fruit based sweetener. All other sweetener was over powering the flavor of strawberries. I also tried putting half the mentioned sweetener in the recipe. The bars came out bland and needed the extra punch. Therefore, the mentioned combination with the mentioned measurement works best for these bars.

So, go ahead and give it a try. Enjoy summer sports and stay healthy and well replenished!

    Can blueberries be used? My daughter has allergies to strawberries. Thank you.

      I have personally not used blueberries in this recipe. You may give it a try. I would recommend adjusting the sweetener as per taste in case you plan to use blueberries.

      If you use quinoa flakes then you may use it directly. If you use regular quinoa then yes it has to be cooked.

    This looks delicious. I waste so much money on high priced protein bars because I thought it would be to hard to make my own. These look simple and delicious, I’m going to try them.
