So most of my clients have recieved this recipe in the past week and it is a hit!  I thought I would share it with you all too!

Every summer (training season) I am always looking for new energy/power bars that are low in sugar, high in good carbohydrates for fuel, and high in protein for muscle retention.  I think I have found the answer!  Check out the recipe below and let me know what you think.
