Take one of these satisfying and healthy snack bars to work, or on
a day trip, to keep your energy levels high in between meals. Each
bar is packed full of ingredients high in omega-3 oils, such as pecans,
almonds and flaxseed (linseed), which are essential for good health.
Because the bars freeze well, it is convenient to make a large batch,
and place some in the freezer, allowing them to be taken out as you
need them.
