PROBAR BOLT Organic Energy Chews:  This is the perfect companion when you are expending lots of energy!  I love having these with me when I'm logging miles upon miles on my road bike and hiking.  When my energy level drops, I reach for a 2.1oz bag of PRO BAR Bolt for an instant pick me up.  Gluten-Free and made with superfruits, these are loaded with electrolytes, B vitamins, antioxidants, and complex carbs.  Finish strong with these organic energy chews.  Flavors come in Berry Blast, Orange, Raspberry, and Strawberry.
