Healthy Honey Nut Milk n' Cereal Bars (No Refined Sugar or Oil)

These healthy honey nut milk n' cereal bars with no refined sugar or oil channel the exact vibe of those early‑2000s milk‑and‑cereal bars—sweet, crunchy, creamy, and wildly nostalgic—but without the corn syrup, palm kernel oil, canola oil, or mystery ingredients. Just whole ingredients, natural sweetness, and a creamy “milk” filling that hits the same notes as the original.

Ingredients for Healthy Honey Nut Milk n' Cereal Bars (No Refined Sugar or Oil)

Bars

• 3.5 cups (98 g) Lovebird Honey O cereal

• 1 cup (120 g) PB Fit powder

• ⅓ cup (80 g) water

• ⅓ cup (100 g) honey

• ½ tsp (2 g) sea salt
  

Creamy Filling

• ¼ cup (60 g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt

• 3 tbsp (42 g) cream cheese

• ½ tsp (2 g) vanilla extract

• 1 tbsp (12 g) granulated monk fruit sweetener
  

Instructions

1. Prepare the pan

Line a 9×5‑inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the long sides so you can lift the bars out later.

2. Make the cereal mixture (base + topping)

• In a large bowl, combine the cereal, reconstituted PB Fit peanut butter, honey, and sea salt.

• Stir until everything is evenly coated.

• Press half of this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.

  • Use a spoon or spatula to really compress it—this helps the bars hold together.
    

3. Make the filling

• Slightly warm the cream cheese so it mixes smoothly.

• Stir together the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, monk fruit sweetener, and vanilla until creamy and uniform.
  

4. Assemble

• Spoon the filling evenly over the pressed cereal layer.

• Add the remaining cereal mixture on top and press down firmly to create a level, compact surface.
  

5. Freeze

Place the pan in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to set.

6. Slice + store

• Lift the slab out using the parchment overhang.

• Transfer to a cutting board and slice into 10 bars.

• Store in an airtight container in the freezer.

• For the best texture, let a bar sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before eating.
