    Homemade Ginger Nutmeg Granola Oat Bars Recipe

    Kid-friendly healthy oat bars are a terrific afternoon snack. They are filling, kid-friendly, and guaranteed to keep your energy up for hours. This is also such a fun recipe to prepare with your children. If you prepare them in advance, they also make a quick on-the-go breakfast option.

    A healthy snack doesn’t have to be complicated to create or taste like cardboard. These oat bars taste out-of-the-world delicious. The best part about creating your own healthy snacks is knowing they don’t have any weird fillers or ingredients you can’t pronounce. These ginger-nutmeg oat bars have no processed sugar and are made with good-for-you ingredients.

    Oats are One of the Healthiest Gluten-Free Grains

    Oats are naturally gluten-free. It is always best to purchase certified gluten-free oats if you are like me and are diagnosed with celiac disease or are gluten-sensitive.

    Oats are an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and are heart-healthy. They are also a wonderful source of fiber due to beta-glucan, a soluble fiber, shown to improve blood glucose and lipid levels (1).

    Health and Beauty Benefits of Pumpkin Seeds

    Zinc in pumpkin seeds helps support clear skin. This is a mineral known to help keep skin clear, maintain a healthy scalp, and even promote hair growth. Pumpkin seeds are also rich in zinc.

    Pumpkin Seeds Help With the Herpes Virus

    Did you know that studies have shown zinc can help deactivate the herpes virus that leads to cold sores? If you tend to suffer from cold sore outbreaks, you might want to consider including foods rich in zinc, like pumpkin seeds, into your diet.

    If you have trouble getting your beauty sleep, you might try eating some pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds are a source of tryptophan, which studies suggest can help improve your sleep.
