Pam's Power Bars

This is something you will like especially after eating bars from the stores. It is great because of the nuts and almond butter. You can also substitute with peanut butter. I eat these in the middle of the day when I want to avoid unhealthy snacks. The bar include healthy fats (sunflower seeds and almond butter). It is also very tasty and can be amended as you like.
