Sophie Uliano’s Healthy, Plant-Based Protein Bar Recipe

Guest post from Sophie Uliano

Breakfast … Ugh.

Potentially the most important, and most menacing meal of the day. If you’re anything like me, you’re mornings are CHAOTIC—feed the dogs, wake up my daughter, get dressed (a shower is a luxury), wake up my daughter AGAIN, walk the dogs, forcibly eject daughter from bed and into school clothes, find keys + purse, attempt to feed teenager and fail miserably… You get the picture. And it’s not always pretty.

So I am constantly on the hunt for quick (read: premade), nutritious breakfast options that will not only fill my daughter’s stomach, but keep her going for the morning. And truthfully, I got tired of feeding her endless, foil-wrapped bars from the grocery store. I wanted to make something myself, to control the ingredients but also because cooking is one of the ways I show my affection.
