Start your day with an Mary Berry's Cranberry & Coconut Energy Bar. With 9 wholesome ingredients this grab and go cereal bar will power you up with energy

The Mary Berry Energy Bars recipe requires only 9 simple ingredients, and can be prepared in just 10 minutes and then should be left to chill! This rich bar, full of nuts, seeds, fruit, and oats, is based on Mary Berry’s Cranberry & Coconut Cereal Bar. The perfect healthy snack includes a little protein – great mid-morning, a great grab-and-go pre-workout snack on mornings when you don’t have time to digest a full meal or when you need a boost of energy.

One of my favourite snacks to prepare are energy balls and energy bars. These are a little different than the ones I’m used to preparing with a base of Medjool dates as in the case of these cocoa energy balls.

These cereal bars use two popular ingredients: dehydrated cranberries and coconut! Both cranberries and coconut help in binding the ingredients of energy bars similar to dates helping us to prepare very compact sweet bites for a quick healthy snack!
