Keto Chia Breakfast Bars Recipe

"Protein bars, energy bars, granola bars…there are a lot of options in the portable food market these days, but it’s an extreme challenge to find ones that keep you in ketosis. Even if you do find options that won’t send your blood sugar sailing, your heart might skip some beats when you see how much they cost. Reassure your bank account and your body with these keto chia breakfast bars. Check out some recipes for breakfast bars and you’ll quickly notice one thing in common: they’re full of grain. They’re gluten-filled, flour-based, sugar-laden nightmares. It hardly seems fair – why should you have to miss out on the convenience of a grab-and-go meal just because you’re trying to do right by your body? Well, now you don’t have to. These delicious savory-sweet bars are the answer to your weekday breakfast challenges, and all it takes is a few simple swaps. First, I replaced the sugar or brown sugar typically residing in breakfast bars with Swerve confectioner’s sweetener. Swerve is a natural sweetener that won’t affect your blood glucose level. I also replaced oats and flour with chia seeds, nuts, mixed seeds, and coconut flakes. I love using a variety of nuts and mixed seeds – not only do your taste buds get a nice variety, but you’ll be getting different levels of nutrients from each."
