If there is one thing RxBars has right, it is the use of simple and minimal ingredients. Earlier this week we shared about lifestyle tips that keep you on track without feeling like you are always on a diet. Well, one of those tips was to eat as many whole foods as possible. Using whole foods and pairing it with our pre-workout supplement POW, we created some each to make snack bites that will help power you through your next workout. These Mango POWer balls are perfect for spring and putting a little extra pep in your workouts.
