7 Healthy Grab & Go Breakfast Bars for Busy Mornings

If you’re tired of eating your kids’ leftovers as you rush out the door in the morning, a breakfast bar can be a morning meal lifesaver. Just because you’re in a rush doesn’t mean you can’t fuel up with a healthy breakfast. Pair any of these bars with some greek yogurt, a piece of fruit, or some hard boiled eggs (and don’t forget the caffeine!) for a convenient grab-and-go breakfast that’s ready in no time at all.
