Tips To Help You
Powerhouse Prune Bars are a healthy way to snack
If you’ref trying to eat healthy'
foods but you love to snack, you
know how hard it is to keep your
body fueled with healthy foods. So
why not try a new, nutritious
nack that’s really easy to make?
Powerhouse Prune Bars are a
elicious treat that requires a mini
um) of effort to make.
You’ll be glad to know that Cali
ornia prunes contain all the nu
rients you want, and nothing you
on’t. They’re loaded with nutri
nts like vitamins A and C, potas
ium, magnesium, iron and fiber,
et they have no fat, sodium or
holesterol.
An added bonus:- in a recent
tudy released by Tufts University
n Boston, pruhes topped the list of
ommonly eaten fruits and veg
tablesfor havingthe highest anti
xidant level activity. Antioxi
ants are compounds that neutral
ze the damaging effects of oxida
ion, which may play a role in age
related diseases such as heart and
lung diseases, some cancers, and
cataract formation.
Powerhouse Prune Bars are an
excellent choice anytime you’re
craving a snack.
