Seeds are the secret to these super crunchy bars that come in deliciously unusual flavors like apple ginger and blueberry lemon. Organic pumpkin, sunflower, and flax seeds are the first three ingredients with sweeteners falling sixth in line on the list, and a touch of sea salt completes this better-for-you treat.

Made Good

A granola bar that’s dipped in chocolate and tastes like a birthday cake? Yes, please. It’s got a fair bit of sugar thanks to the chocolate and sprinkles, so keep this one handy for an afternoon pick-me-up.
