Hard Peanut Butter Granola Bars (1 Bar)

Eat a smaller portion, such as half a bar, and save the rest for later.

Have the bar after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach.

Pair it with unsweetened Greek yogurt or a small handful of almonds to slow absorption.

Choose bars with less added sugar, more fiber, and no syrup-based sweeteners when possible.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating the bar.

If you want fruit alongside it, choose a small serving of berries rather than sweetened dried fruit.
