These Chocolate & Cherry Nut Pre-Workout Protein Bars come as a result of my trainer suggesting I focus on my carb consumption prior to my workouts to maximize the calorie burn and muscle build. As an obedient student, of course I complied. However, being the true culinary health foodie I am, I decided to conjure up my own 'weapon' to use in my weight battle and workout victory as opposed to the store bought options. These bars are perfectly convenient to grab-go-and-toss in your lunch or workout bag. I enjoy a bar 30 minutes prior to my workout to get the fuel needed to power through my workout with a 'boosted' calorie burn weapon! The sweet-tart juicy burst from the dried cherries combined with the creamy chocolate goodness of the chips is like a symphony of flavors backed with the satisfying crunch of the walnuts. While I would not recommend these bars as a dessert treat since their sweetness is mainly derived from the cherries and dark chocolate alone, this dense bar is a super delicious treat that motivates me to live my best workout! *NOTE: To make this more of a sweeter treat, add 1/2 cup brown sugar to the mix.
