Stop wasting money on expensive “healthy” pre-workout snacks—all you need is this no-bake puffed rice cereal bar recipe

I’m always on the lookout for healthy snacks to give me energy before a workout, and I have been known to grab an overpriced cereal bar when I’m out, but they always taste so synthetic and sugary to me.

I’d much rather make my own at home, but of course that depends on whether I’ve got the time or the inclination.

That’s why I’m glad I’ve come across this easy pistachio and puffed rice cereal bar recipe on the RWL health and fitness app. Not only is it really tasty, it involves minimal cooking (you just need to melt chocolate) and takes less than five minutes to make!

It’s an ideal pre-workout snack because it’s relatively low in calories, with plenty of carbohydrates along with smaller amounts of protein and fat to regulate the digestion of the carbs.

As a bonus, the pumpkin seeds are bursting with micronutrients, including vitamin E, magnesium and zinc.
