Breakfast bars are such great ammunition for the day, whilst they do have a little sugar in them you can manage the type you add, and they can be loaded with great fruit, nuts and oats making them a great power house to get you through the morning. The bars are usually good for at least 5 days when sealed and stored properly so they can be snacked on throughout the week (and don’t let their name fool you they also make a great afternoon snack)
