Protein Seed Bar
The perfect snack for an on-the-go entrepreneur.
If you run a business, chances are there’s never enough time in the day for you to complete all the tasks on your to-do list-let alone eat healthy. One of my best tricks to not neglecting my nutrition is to have healthy snacks that are quick to make, ready to consume when I need something before running out the door. This protein seed bar from our friends ar Menu Mandala are quick to make, delicious and top you up on energy in a pinch. I also like to keep a banana and electrolytes packet in my work bag at all times just incase I am out longer than I thought. As convenient as it is, limiting fast food is also a big priority to me, I am all about the snacks.
