Bar Food
These healthy snacks aren’t your grandmother’s energy bars!
Amanda Altman
You’re always on the go—from Pilates class to errands to your weekly manicure—and barely have time to prepare a meal, let alone a
healthy snack. To keep your energy surging while you’re running around, grab an energy bar. Before you go ewww, check this out: A whole
new generation of bars are not only delicious, but many of them are organic, whole-food, vegan and/or raw. These are definitely not your
grandmother’s energy bars. A billion-dollar industry, energy bars are now made from functional foods to serve specific needs. Whether
you’re an athlete, a moderate exerciser, diabetic or macrobiotic devotee, there’s a bar for you. You still have to watch out for the high-cal,
trans-fat-filled and sugarloaded versions, which aren’t much better for you than a Snickers bar.
