Today’s life is fast and nipping. And when both the partners are working, it gets more and more challenging for us ladies to provide the best nutrition for our family without loosing on taste. And hence, we try harder and harder, devote more and more time towards feeding our family with the best we can. In that en devour, I got caught with this idea of nibbling on home made energy bars. This fudge/ energy bars/ barfi are satisfying both in terms of taste and health.
Got this inspiration while I was preparing my last batch of Oats Laddoo.. They were loved by S and me both. This time, I was gripped with shaping the laddoos in a way we can carry them with us to the office. And so, these bars came into existence in our office bags.. Do try them.. Its a wonderful way to add fiber, energy and whole some nutrition in your diet.. On the Go !
