Odwalla Bar: Chocolate Chip Peanut

Because my typical "lunch hour" consists of a 45-minute mountain bike ride on the awesome trails nearby my office here in Draper, Utah, my body will burn through the calories that I eat for my actual lunch by about 3:30 pm.

Fritos and other greasy snacks--nah, that won't do. Odwalla Bar? How did that sneak into the coffin of death snacks?"
