Chocolate Protein Squares

By Joy McCarthy

Do you often scratch your head in confusion reading the label of a protein or energy bar? I’m not surprised! I have joyous news for you, there is nothing artificial in these squares such as sweeteners, colouring or flavouring, unlike the majority of pre-packaged bars on the market. It is especially important when you are active to maximize your nourishment by eating nutrient-dense foods and eliminating preservatives, excess sugar and artificial ingredients.
