Those attending Natural Products Expo East will have the chance to see the debut of a new brand called BeBOLD, which makes refrigerated energy bars that appeal to health-conscious consumers, as they are prepared without additives or preservatives.
The nourishing and wholesome bars are made with just a few simple ingredients, including almond butter or peanut butter, plus oats, dairy-free chocolate chips, wildflower honey, chia seeds, brazil nuts, walnuts and a touch of dark maple syrup for sweetness. BeBOLD founder Stacy Madison highlights that "There are no added powders or thickeners to keep them together, which is why it's important that the energy bars are kept in the fridge or freezer to preserve their freshness.
