Who says you have to take all your supplements and powders with just water? Did you know that you can cook with these ingredients?
One of the easiest ways to make sure you're getting your daily dose is to pop all your powders into a snack you can consume each day. We've run through a recipe for a fabulously supercharged coconut ice, and now we've got a recipe for the perfect granola bar. One that you can stash in your handbag and eat on the run.
This recipe makes 16 and uses Glow Powder by The Beauty Chef.
