Power Bar
A lot of people rely on processed power bars for healthy snacks, but you can easily make them at home using whole ingredients. This bar was developed by Fullbloom Baking Company for the Berkeley Unified School District. Whether your child plays sports or just needs a burst of energy to finish school work, this bar is sure to please. Send one to school with a child who participates in after school sports activities and will need a burst of energy late in the day.
