I have become a huge fan of no-bake bars. Specifically, these Blueberry Almond Breakfast Bars. Like, I couldn’t stop eating them. So much so that I had to give some to my 80-year-old neighbor, James.

James is a lively and vibrant man, a self-proclaimed “Detroit-o-phile.” He walks the hallways every day for exercise, where we will exchange anywhere from a few words to a 20-minute long conversation about Hillbilly Elegy.

Sometimes I share my healthier treats with James. These bars were one of those times.

Then, yesterday, I got this hand-written note under my door:

Dear Sarah
Re: Blueberry Almond Breakfast Bars

An outstanding and unique blend of ingredients and astutefully packaged that would be the envy of any “boulangerie” in Paris.

Thank you for sharing.

Your neighbor and friend,
James

I was so touched. Hand-written notes just make my day. And one regarding my baked goods? So sweet.

Sometimes the smallest of exchanges can mean so much. So this week, I urge you to do something small for someone in your life. Something like writing a note for you S.O. to wake up to. Or baking these Blueberry Almond Breakfast Bars for a friend.

Happy almost weekend, everyone. Love you so.

    • Hi Cat! you could try a peanut butter powder? I have never tried these without the protein powder so I can’t personally vouch for anything!
