The Only Thing Better than Ice Cream
Good for the Soul
Adding Greek yogurt is ideal for anyone who wants to incorporate more protein in their diet! As we are enjoying our food, we also want some additional value that can help our bodies get stronger.
To that end, chocolate has magnesium which may help our nerves and muscles work well and contributes in construction of our bones, protein, and DNA.
As for the strawberries and mangos, they are considered antioxidants, they may help lower cholesterol levels, and they are good for your gut!
Why You’ll Inevitably Be Hooked
The allure of these joyfully colorful bars is that they offer a slight chocolaty crunch on the outside followed closely by the velvety creaminess of the yogurt and chewiness of the sweet and tangy strawberries and mangoes.
