**All Star** (homemade and organic) Power Bars

Hello Friends, Family and Neighbors-

I often get asked what, where, how (much), A LOT, and when I eat, to fuel my run or to recover from a run...

This is one of my ABSOLUTE faves, given to me by, up-for-ANY-adventure, let's-take-the-world-on, good friend, Margaret....  Thanks Marg for giving and sharing!  

This is easy to make, easy to pack and easy to carry.  And these bars are light in-the-stomach.  Give me ALL the energy I need, without weighing me down.  A few squares (cut bars, like shown below) work as a natural, mid-long-run, pick-me-up (instead of a GU -- no offense GU or any other gel) .  Or as a recovery snack, after a hard effort (try with chocolate milk), or an after-dinner sweet.  YUM.  Try 'em out!
