Blueberry Almond Chocolate Bars Gluten Free Dairy Free and Paleo Recipe | ahealthylifeforme.com

I have a bit of a problem and I happen to notice this problem while making this recipe.

When I went to measure out the maple syrup from the already open bottle that IΒ had in the fridge, I noticed that it only had a tablespoon maybe two left in the bottom. Β Now when a bottle of maple syrup only has a small amount at the bottomΒ one must be very patient while it waits to pour out.

Just for a moment I thought about just throwing the old bottle away and not wasting the time,Β I mean I was going to have to open up the new bottle to get the right amount anyway, but I just couldn’t.

I don’t know why I am this way, but I alwyas feel like I have to use it all or I feel a bit guilty if I don’t.

I thought about and I blame my mother.

Poor Mom she always gets blamed, but she is the same way and when I was a girl everything was in moderation and we used EVERYTHING before we got something new.

Do you have this problem, or do you toss it and open the new one?

Even though I had to wait on my maple syrup to pour, these bars take no time to pull togeth and let me tell you I am crushing on these Blueberry Almond ChocolateΒ Bars.

I love one in the morning with my coffee because they are loaded with potassium, protein, antioxidants and deliciousness, but I also love one in the afternoon as a snack to help me get to dinner time, and they are also great as a dessert after dinner to satisfy my sweet tooth.

I eat them guilt free because I only used the cleanest ingredients in these bars so they are gluten free, dairy free, paleo and vegetarian. Β Almond Flour, almonds and almond butter give a great dose of protein to fill you up, and the banana and maple syrup give the bars their sweetness and potassium which is great for our muscles.

I hope you give the recipe a try and don’t forget to snap a quick picture and share it on instagram. Β Tag me @ahealthylifeforme so I don’t miss it.

    I am SO the same! I’ll open a new bottle, and then let the old one stand upside down until it’s ALL out!
    And these bars look amazing! I love that they are paleo friendly! Pinned!

    If I have to wait a minute or two for the syrup to come out, it’s going in the garbage! Unless I don’t have any some syrup in the house πŸ™‚

    These look amazing! PS it’s always a travesty when you run out of maple syrup. Maple syrup is the best!
