How often do you go to MEC or your local corner store before a camping trip or hike to pick up some assortment of 'power' bars? Ever try making your own?
We experimented with our own power ball recipe when looking for snacks free of gluten, nuts, seeds, and added sugar. You can add any of these to the food processor to your liking. Protein powder also makes a good add in for even more flavour and nutrition.
They can be eaten as a grab-n-go breakfast, a midday snack, or even as a dessert treat!
