Snack bars have become very popular with not just athletes, but anyone looking for a fast and convenient way to recharge their energy, squelch hunger pangs and beat mid-afternoon fatigue. However, with many of today's snack or so-called "energy" bars, there's a very fine line between them and what's stocked in the candy aisle of your local grocery store. In addition to questionable sweeteners like high-fructose corn syrup, cane syrup and fructose, many top-selling non-organic snack bars contain other genetically engineered ingredients like corn fiber, sugarcane fiber, and soy protein isolate. And then there's taste... In my opinion, most of today's bars just aren't worth eating. My Cassava Bars are different. Made from all organic, non-bioengineered ingredients and plentiful fiber and healthy fat, they taste delicious because they are made with high-quality whole foods! My Organic Macadamia Cassava Bars with Goji Berries is made with one of my favorite sources of high-quality fats: macadamia nuts. Mild tasting and rich in flavor, macadamia nuts contain the same omega-9 monounsaturated fatty acid found in olive oil as well as oleic acid, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, such as magnesium and manganese. Macadamia Cassava Bars contain botanical protein from chia seeds and pea protein, and fiber from cassava root, dates, goji berries and chia. While Macadamia Cassava Bars are not dipped in chocolate like my Cocoa Cassava Bars, they're equally as soft, moist, and chewy - just like a homemade treat! Studded with dried goji berries and cacao nibs, each bar contains only 5 grams of sugars - a fraction of the sugars found in other top-selling snack bars. And they contain no refined sugar or bioengineered corn syrup. Forget the refined sugars, excess carbohydrates and genetically modified ingredients. Instead, go with fiber-rich whole foods for a gourmet snack bar that you'll enjoy again and again.
