I don’t know about you but not only do I rush in the mornings to get out the door (and needing to grab something quick to eat) but I am also a snacker.

I needed something that would not only refuel me “on the go” but also benefit me.  The Fiber and Protein in these are fantastic and by storing them in my Tupperware they will last 2 weeks in my fridge!!

You can find MANY recipes for bites like these all over the internet . . .and yes, your kids will eat them too.  As I start to experiment with my own favorite combinations go ahead and give this one a try 🙂
