Snack bars have become very popular with not just athletes, but anyone looking for a fast and convenient way to recharge their energy, squelch hunger pangs and beat mid-afternoon fatigue.

However, with many of today’s snack or so-called “energy” bars, there’s a very fine line between them and what’s stocked in the candy aisle of your local grocery store.

In addition to questionable sweeteners like high-fructose corn syrup, cane syrup and fructose, many top-selling non-organic snack bars contain other genetically engineered ingredients like corn fiber, sugarcane fiber and soy protein isolate.

And then there’s taste… In my opinion, most of today’s bars just aren’t worth eating.

My Cassava Bars are different. Made from all organic, non-bioengineered ingredients, and plentiful fiber and healthy fat, they taste delicious because they are made with high-quality whole foods!

My Organic Cocoa Cassava with coconut and chia seeds is our all-time favorite chocolate-coated gourmet snack bar. Because Cocoa Cassava now has 10 g of fiber and only 6 g of sugars, you can continue to enjoy our top selling bar with even less guilt!

Cocoa Cassava contains botanical protein from organic almond butter and chia seeds and fiber from cassava root, coconut and chia seeds.

While you may think you’re eating a popular candy bar after one bite of our soft, moist and chewy Cocoa Cassava bar, you’ll only find a fraction of the sugars and they’re not refined sugar or bioengineered corn syrup.

If you’re a chocolate lover, the Cocoa Cassava bar is for you. My Organic Cocoa Cassava Bar contains both organic dark chocolate with 56 percent cacao and organic raw cacao powder.

Forget the refined sugars, excess carbohydrates and genetically modified ingredients. Go with fiber-rich whole foods instead for a gourmet snack bar that you’ll want to enjoy again and again.
