Mizuba Matcha Granola Bars - Gluten Free.

Our Mizuba matcha granola bars are SO fantastic for a healthy grab and go snack!

Bonus - they're super easy to make double (or triple!) batches of for when you need a stand-out dish to bring to a soirée or gathering! These bars are also friendly for gluten-free diets. 

We made these special bars for a Galentines Day Gathering with our bffs at Wild Friends Foods. They were a hit! 

PS - we have a how-to video at the bottom to help visualize the process :)
