Introduction
I made my own version of Power Bars, using a super-delicious trail mix I found at Bulk Barn called "Goodness of Goji". In addition to a generous helping of the berries, the mix has almonds, raisins, dried pineapple and sunflower seeds in it. Then I made my own power blend to add to it, with soy protein isolate, wheat gluten, wheat germ, chia seed, flax, sesame seeds, amaranth, tofu, agave, peanut butter and toasted soy "nuts". The result? Dense, chewy, indulgent-tasting bars that are more than the sum of their parts!
