Make These No-Bake Granola Bars Your New Go-To Snack
Snacks are a staple in pretty much any college diet, and the humble granola bar is often my go-to choice. Unfortunately, most bars typically cost over a dollar each, making them less than ideal on a college budget. In reality, many of the ingredients found in granola bars are inexpensive and easily found at the supermarket. These no-bake granola bars come together quickly and are full of whole grain oats, nuts, and dried fruit to satisfy any sweet tooth while getting even the busiest students through the day. And the best part? You don’t even have to turn on your oven.
