Sesame Tahini Oat Bars
(Makes 20-24 balls)

Hi my name is Stephanie and I am a snack-o-holic! I LOVE snacks! My kitchen is filled with things I can grab and go at my convenience.  From the sounds of it I know you are busy and love your snacks too.  Here I have created a super easy snack recipe that keeps fresh in your fridge for a couple of weeks.  They are super quick to make and I know your family will love them too.

When we snack we want to make sure we are getting enough healthy carbs, fats, fiber and protein into our diet.  Why is that? Well those are our very basic macro nutrients that will make you feel satiated and full. It will also give you the energy you need to get through your busy day. Physical activity, as well as brain power all uses energy! So we have to fuel our bodies and our brain with whole nutrient dense ingredients so we can perform at our optimal best every single day.
