It’s Day 19 of the Whole30, and I’m feeling GREAT!!!  I need to spend some time this weekend writing a little more about this journey – I’ve been a busy bee, and maybe I’ve been up at like 5:30am and doing crazy workouts.  #tigerblood if you’ve done Whole30 before!  🙂

Larabars have been a lifesaver on Whole30 because if you’re crazy busy then it’s a good grab and go snack that is approved – well, some of them!  🙂  I’m assuming the one that I invented today is approved as well.  It gets 2 thumbs up and 5 stars in my book!!  It’s a quick, easy, flavorful, ALL NATURAL snack!!  (Just try not to eat the whole batch – I dare you.)  Whether Whole30 or not – give this a go!
