Snack
Organic Banana Chews
Regular or Chocolate

Filled with lots of potassium-antioxidants-vitimins & minerals-fiber

I love this snack because it helps keep my muscle cramps away! About 1,250 MG of potassium in every package. I know its easy to lack potassium during the day without eating a banana so these are perfect to throw in your lunch or even on the bike while you ride. LOVE THEM! The dark chocolate one is my favorite because after a long hard week I crave chocolate, so this is the perfect healthy sweet tooth snack too.
