Chickpea Bar is one of my favorite among the list of all healthy snacks. I often make this bar easily at my home and consume them either in pre-workout or post-workout time. When I am travelling, I make sure I am carrying a few bars with me. You can easily change the texture of these bars at your own comfort.
