Alan’s CHERRY COCONUT GRANOLA BARS
By now you should have a pretty good idea of what works for you for fuelling on the run. it is highly individual and having a few different options available will help when flavour fatigue starts to set in! These sweet and salty cherry granola bars might just hit the spot.
Makes approx 16 x 56g bars.. if you don’t eat all the wee bits when cutting
Really tasty and quite addictive, this mix would also work broken into yoghurt for a cunning dessert.
Can sub the protein powder for equal weight coconut if you prefer.

30g vanilla protein powder
20g desiccated coconut
100g glace Morello cherries
