I think Groupon is the new Daily Candy for me. It's fun and quick to read. Full of all kinds of local, fun businesses I've never heard of offering me deals I cannot pass up. Today's deal: $25 worth of custom energy bars for $10 from a company called Element Bars.
I'll admit, I've never heard of it. (Of course, I'm not really known for my nutritious eating habits). But the web experience is fantastic:
You can choose to buy some of their most popular bars (designed by other customers) or you can build your own. There are tons of choices and each includes a little extra tip on what it really tastes like. Your personal nutrition info tracks right with you, updating proteins and calories with each added almond and cherry along the way.
Now, if I just weren't so chronically addicted to Lara Bars...
Wasn't this featured on the NBC series Shark Tank?

Really cool idea. As a parent, I'd love to be able to make a special granola bar for my daughter (and involve her in the choices) AND name the bar after her. She'd LOVE it -- greatly increasing the chances that she'd actually EAT it!
