Snacking can be a blessing or a curse when you’re trying to be mindful of your daily diet. Whether you’re going to work, school or just running errands, make a batch of bars at the beginning of the week and package it in individual servings. You’ll never have to reach for candy or cookies in the afternoon because you’ll never be without a delicious snack!

• 1/3 cup pure honey
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 3 egg whites
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring
• 3 cups low-fat granola
• 1/2 cup almonds, coarsely chopped
• 3/4 cup dried cherries

Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk together honey, butter, egg whites, cinnamon and almond flavoring. Stir in granola, almonds and cherries. Spoon granola mixture into 9-inch, nonstick (or well greased) square pan. Using a piece of wax paper, firmly press granola mixture in pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove pan from oven and place on a cooling rack. Cool completely; cut into bars.
