There is an average 180 instruction days in a school year. There is an average of 25 students in a first grade class. If each child has 1 granola bar in their lunch that would equal over 4500 granola bar wrappers thrown in the trash each school year.
This recipe is so easy that you'll never have to purchase a wrapped granola bar again! Make a batch of these Sunday night and portion them into your Wean Tubs to send to school and we will pass on our LitterLESS Lunch crown:)
