    Bars, bites and balls are so versatile! Here are 4 quick reasons we love them:

    1. They're great any time of day: for breakfast on the go, an energizing afternoon snack, or a wholesome dessert option.
    2. Many bars, bites and balls are easily customizable for variety or personal preference. Swap mesquite powder for the raw cacao, goji berries for the raisins, or walnuts for the pecans. It's your call!
    3. They're allergy-friendly! Many recipes are naturally gluten free or can easily be so by using gluten free oats and other ingredients.
    4. They're raw-friendly! Many home-made bars, bites and balls are raw or have a raw option.

      My after-school snack was a sacred ritual. I sat on the carpet in my parents' bedroom at a low table, the television turned to "I Dream of Jeannie," and ate a peanut butter and honey sandwich cut into neat squares. I wasn't fussy about crusts. I just loved the sticky pairing of creamy peanut butter with syrupy golden sweetness drizzled from a honey bear in diagonals across the soft white bread.
