Cranberry Yogurt No Bake Quinoa Bars

Granola and protein bars are so easy to make. You can create delicious bars that are healthy and cheap. Isn't it great that you know what's in the bars you are eating? I looked around online for a yogurt bar recipe but didn't find one so I came up with this. The bars are packed with super foods like chia seeds, quinoa and hemp hearts. I only made a small batch because I wasn't sure how it would turn out but this is yummy and I will make it again. My kids enjoyed it as well so that's a bonus. Because it has yogurt, you must keep it in the fridge or freezer in a tight lid container.
