Due to the state of power bars and other chewy energy snacks, we seriously need an alternative. Not only are they devoid of any good ingredients, they’ve managed to fill them with all the ingredients you want to avoid like soy, sugar, and synthetic vitamins. Well, its time for a change. It’s time for Superfood Power Bites.
Purpose
We need a snack that we can just pop into our mouth, feel satisfied, and enjoy some sustainable energy through it’s high quality nutrition. Fortunately, these little beauties do all of that while supplying our bodies with a comprehensive spectrum of EFA’s, amino acids, B-Vitamins, enzymes, chlorophyll, and trace minerals. That’s just a small sampling of what is in this powerful superfood snack!
