Ayurvedic Protein Bars|Gluten Dairy Free

Plant based, protein packed and easy to make. Bake a batch and soothe the back to school transition for everyone.



I've been sharing this recipe with clients for many, many years and it's a crowd pleaser for all ages. It didn't take long before these plant powerhouse became the bar of choice for the cycling enthusiasts in the house. A tried and true favorite of clients, friends and neighbors.
I started out making this with my son when he was four years old for a health snack. When we would grocery shop, I would ask him to read the nutition labels. We did this for years. If either of us did not recognize an ingredient, we determined it was not the food for us. Decades later, I am find myself saying to clients:
"If you don't know the words on the nurition label, don't eat it."-Veena
