These Paleo nut-free cranberry seed protein bars taste so sweet and amazing and are refined sugar free! I made these delicious nutrient-packed bars without nuts so they can easily be sent along in my kids’ lunches at school. And my kiddos love them! They’re so sweet and full of flavor, you’d never guess they were healthy! These protein bars are dense so they’ll fill your tummy while giving you a quick energy boost.

I have also made this recipe without the honey, and they have a less-sweet delicious flavor.  So perfect to keep on hand, these will become your go-to snack! And the best part?

Only 15 minutes of prep time!
