3 Clever Hacks Using Baked Chewy Bars

School is back in session and you know what that means? Healthy breakfasts and allergy-friendly snacks & lunches.  The time of the laid back Summer routine is over but don’t freak out! I’m going to show you how easy it is to get back into the swing of things using your favorite Baked Chewy Bar by Enjoy Life Foods  (there’s also a special coupon code at the end….so keep reading)📚.

Enjoy Life Foods

My family is loyal to the Enjoy Life Foods brand. Not only was it the first company that my youngest requested by name, but also it was the first company that made it enjoyable for everyone to eat allergy-free (only my youngest has multiple life threatening food allergies). It’s allergy-safe and delicious which makes Enjoy Life Foods = allergylicious 😉.

The Enjoy Life Foods bakery is located in a certified gluten-free and dedicated nut-free facility, removing any chance of cross-contamination. All of the products are free from the 8 most common allergens: peanut, tree nuts, wheat, soy, eggs, dairy, fish & shellfish then go the extra mile by removing sulfites, crustaceans, sesame and mustard to cover Canada’s top 12 food allergens. Their products are also non-GMO, certified Kosher and made with no artificial ingredients. That’s something this mama can stand behind.

Bigger is better

The need for Free-from snacking is always growing and because of that, Enjoy Life Foods introduced a larger size (15% bigger🎉) + 3 new flavors to their Chewy Bar family. Each bar was created, using their Pure Life Balanced Dry Blend flour (consisting of sunflower kernels, cassava, sorghum & quinoa) before adding innovative ingredients to make these treats stand out.

• Caramel Blondie– made with bits of dairy-free caramel and mini chips.
• Carrot Cake– shredded carrots, California raisins and roasted pumpkin seeds pack a ton of flavor into this portable treat.
• Lemon Blueberry Poppy Seed– tart lemon juice & sweet blueberries create a snack bar that tastes like a breakfast muffin.

We couldn’t decide on a favorite flavor, so you’ll just have to try them all and decide for yourself.

Time to get creative with your Baked Chewy Bar

Pack these in a lunchbox (yours included) + grab a few to fend off the hunger while waiting in school pick up line! Take them to the football game + leave a box at Grandma’s so you’ll have always have a “safe” treat on hand. You can also chop them up, toss them into dishes or cover them with chocolate…really! Check out the yummy ways I used each of these bars.

My kids love to bake and play with foods in the kitchen. One of their favorite things to do is melt Enjoy Life’s mini chips and dip something in it. Usually it’s fruit, vegan marshmallows or granola bars so why not a chewy bar? Soft & chewy, all-natural caramel flavor + chocolate drizzle = decadent dessert bar.

1.Chocolate-coated Caramel Blondie Chewy Bar

• Enjoy Life Foods Caramel Blondie Chewy Bar
• 1/4 cup Enjoy Life Foods Mini Chocolate Chips
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Simply melt your chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small saucepan & whisk until smooth. Lay down a sheet of parchment paper then place bars on top & drizzle with chocolate.

2. Gluten-free Carrot Cake Muffin

Last but not least, a healthy breakfast. My kids don’t actually like chia seed bowls because of their texture but when you top it with a bunch of fresh fruit + berries then sprinkle on chewy bar crumbles, that’s a different story. Lemon Blueberry flavor just bursts through every bite, making this a fabulous granola substitute.

3. Lemon Blueberry Poppyseed Chia Bowl

• Enjoy Life Foods Lemon Blueberry Poppy Seed Chewy Bar
• 1/4 cup Chia seeds
• 1- 1.5  cups Coconut milk (or creamy dairy-free milk of choice)
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract (if desired)
• fresh fruit (slices berries, kiwi, bananas)

In a medium bowl, mix together chia seeds, coconut milk & vanilla extract. Stir together and let sit 20 minutes (or overnight) stirring mid-way. If you like a thinner chia pudding, add a little more coconut milk. Refrigerate until ready to use then top with crushed chewy bar and fresh fruit.
