Why this ingredient?

Psyllium husk provides the "chew" and binding that keeps breakfast bars from crumbling in your bag. Combined with oats/seeds and berries, it creates satisfying texture while boosting dietary fibre content significantly.

Variations & FAQs

  • Grain-free: Use coconut flakes, extra nuts/seeds instead of oats.
  • Chocolate chip: Add ⅓ cup dairy-free chocolate chips with dry ingredients.
  • Storage: Keep in airtight container 5 days, freeze up to 2 months.
