After talking with Ed at the Health Store this mooring... we decided to see what we could come up with to make an all natural energy bar that you could grab in the morning or after exercise to fuel your body. Challenge: to make it taste good, at least 8 grams of protein and not melt in your hand. So here we go.. mission accomplished and dropped off at the Health Store for final approval. Scored an 8! Watch out CLIFF... you may have a competitor!
