With the kids going back to school shortly…why not get them to make their ‘own’ healthy muesli bars???!!!

Full of nutrients, protein, essential fatty acids – all for BRAIN POWER!!!   And about $5 per dozen bars – that’s great for every one! 😉

You can make some for you too…..add nuts of your choice if not an issue for you – just keep the “nut-free” option for school.
