These no-bake bars are an on-the-go breakfast that’s chock-full of omega-3-rich nuts and seeds.

They also have a secret ingredient called maca: a medicinal plant grown high in the mountains of Peru that can enhance strength, stamina, and mental clarity. A few tablespoon of Heinen’s organic maca powder is all you need to enhance the nutritional value of these simple bars!
