I am always trying out new healthy snack recipes and this one is too good not to share. It is a Donna Hay recipe from her very first Fresh & Light magazine issue. There is some great basic healthy recipes in that issue with some refined sugar-free snacks. This is one of my favourites. With quinoa, nuts, and dried fruits these energy bars are packed with slow releasing energy foods to keep you going all day.
