Cereal Bars
My MRT/LEAP food sensitivity clients love these cereal bars because they only use 3 ingredients.
Eating fewer foods helps in the beginning of overcoming food sensitivities because you’re trying to figure out which foods are causing chronic symptoms.
But EVERYONE I tell about this recipe loves it! Food sensitivities or not.

It takes very little time or effort to make these cereal bars and you probably have all the ingredients right now in your pantry or fridge.
My kids love making these and they each have their favorite flavors.
One or two of these cereal bars are perfect for breakfast when paired with some berries and a hardboiled egg.
They also make a great on-the-go snack.
There’s fiber and some fat and protein, all of which fill you up and keep you satisfied for a while.
puffed millet bars
There are a lot of ways you can change these bars up, swapping in different nut butters, sweeteners, and cereals.
And if you’re able, you can add in some extras. MRT/LEAP food sensitivity clients will need to wait to add most extras in until they get to the rotation phase of their protocol.

Let me know what your favorite combination is!
