  You want to know how to read ingredients and you want to know what to avoid if you really want to spend your money on taking care of your health rather than creating disease.
  So how do you find a real food protein bar or energy bar which will actually contribute to your health and well being?
  First of all evaluate the length of the list of ingredients. Real food do not contain words you can not pronounce nor will the list read like a lengthy paragraph.
  The fewer the ingredients the better?? Fruit and nuts make great protein and energy bars. I also recommend reducing your intake of harmful substances by buying food that's certified organically grown.
  A sensible way to tell whether your bar benefits or detracts from our health and wellness is to notice how you feel while eating it and afterward.
  How sweet do you find it? If it tastes like a candy bar then it likely is loaded with sugar by means of various names. Always stay away from high fructose corn syrup and trans fats.
  How did you feel later? Did you feel a quick high followed, after about 30 minutes, by a sharp energy drop?
  How was your mental clarity? Did you feel satiated for hours or only a brief time? Do you experience carbohydrate cravings?
  Most of the big food companies, out to make money more than produce good nutrition, put chemicals into their products that causes you to crave more. Of course, if you follow the recommendations made earlier you know how to avoid food with ingredients you can't pronounce or recognize.
  Does the bar contain protein, carbohydrate and fat? You need all three for optimal health - physical and mental. Avoid eating bars that lack fat. Your body needs fat to operate as it does protein and carbohydrates. Avoid bars that do not provide all three - even when just snacking.
  
  If you're looking for a good or the best raw food bar recipe or experienced problems making bars before, here is the easiest way to make raw food bars. When I started making raw foods many years ago, I had a problem finding the right consistency when trying to make raw bars. They have been either too sticky or would not hold together. They would fall apart and be nothing like the bars you purchase. I wondered what the secret was.
  After trying a wide selection of recipes with disappointment, I did my own experimenting and found the most effective proportion of ingredients. Using nuts and dates to create a basic recipe, this one holds together nicely. The secret is in a 2 process mixing.
  I used Brazil nuts & cashews. Brazil nuts are hard nuts so ought to be ground to a finer grind to protect your teeth.
  This easy recipe is quick although you'll have to refrigerate it or place it in the freezer for awhile before you take the bars from home.
  One of the problems in the consistency is that the dates may be different sizes. I use medjools but even those vary in size. So you may need to make some adjustments if they do not turn out properly. But I've made these many times and they have always came out great.
