Dark energy

ZonePerfect Nutrition bars have a new line of six flavors featuring rich dark chocolate with caramel pecan, almond, strawberry, mocha, cookies and creme, and double-dark. With so many energy and protein bars on the market, ZonePerfect gets high marks for protein content (12 grams) and flavor - crunchy but never dry. Why settle for fortified wallboard?

ZonePerfect bars, $1.49 each, or $6.99 for a pack of five, at area pharmacy and grocery stores.
