We all know the struggle. You’re reaching for a quick, healthy snack, and those store-bought granola bars seem like the perfect option. But then you take a look at the ingredients list: a novel’s worth of unpronounceable words and a sugar content that would rival a candy bar. Ugh. Especially since my kids love granola bars! Thankfully, I also love to make homemade granola bars, like my pistachio granola bars, for them!
