There is now a Chicago-based company, Element Bar, that let’s you custom design your own energy bar!  (And then they ship it to you.) But that’s not the best part. As you design your own energy bar, the website shows you how each ingredient effects nutritional data. Add some peanut  butter and watch the fat content go up. Add some honey and watch the sugar content increase. You can also add “boosts” of Omega 3, Fiber, Soy Protein or Whey Protein.
