I take these nut bars everywhere with me! So easy to pop in your bag on the way out and you have a quick and healthy protein packed snack. There are so many health benefits to adding this bar to your snack rotation. They have lots of healthy fats, fiber, protein, magnesium, vitamin E, vitamin B, and antioxidants. Sometimes I even crumble the bar up and add to my yogurt!
