The week of final exams is coming, and I have to spend more time in the library studying, rather than in the kitchen baking my yummy desserts. But every cloud has a silver lining – I came up with a few quick and nutritious snacks that can be made on the fly! These are real life-savers for everyone with hectic schedule. Yes, I know, you can stock your purse with apples and nuts – but sometimes we want to have something special for a snack, right?

Talking about the benefits – these amazing no bake bars contain very little sugar, but at the same time they are high in fiber, protein and iron. Given ingredients are enough for two servings – but if you want, you can eat the whole thing – all by yourself. Hmm, sounds tempting:) Also these energy bars provide you with enough calories and nutrients to keep you satisfied for a long time.

Ingredients:

Peanut butter – 2 tbsp*
Coconut oil – 1 tsp
Agave syrup – 1 tbsp
Rolled oats – 3 tbsp
Sunflower seeds and shredded coconut – 2 tsp in total**

* I recommend organic peanut butter without added salt
** You can use any of your favorite ingredients – nuts, dried fruits, granola, chocolate chips – just limit them by 2 tsp overall.

1. In a small saucepan melt together peanut butter, coconut oil and agave syrup.
2. Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients; mix well.
3. Wrap the mixture in plastic wrap and chill in a fridge for a while – or just grab it and go snack☺
