The great thing about trail bars is you get to pack them with whatever you like, even the healthy stuff. These are a little crumblier than some trail bars because there is no plain flour to bind them, making them a good option for the growing number of people with intolerances. The addition of some psyillium husk to the mix should help if this bothers you. They do taste good, however!
