I’ve been trying for so long to get my kids to eat healthier. It’s really been a battle, one which i too often lose! This week, i had a small win: my youngest one not only helped me develop these bars, she actually tried them and loved them! So I named them after her! She was so proud!
They are packed with so much goodness and are easy to like, even for the most fussy eaters!
These are truly my new favourite snack! I guess it’s the combination of cinnamon and honey that does it for me! Such a great snack to have with you, at the office or on the go.
I came up with this recipe as a way to use the almond meal, after I made my almond milk. And it’s such a pleasure to have such delicious snacks that are ready so quickly.
I always use honey from a small local producer. If you don’t want to use honey, agave or maple should taste as good.
I have a thing for these tiny seeds and blueberries, for a number of reasons – to name a few:
Chia seeds: did you know that ‘chia’ is the Mayan word for ‘strength’? They are loaded with protein, fiber, calcium, manganese and magnesium, phosphorus, antioxidants, omega 3 fatty acids! So you have an energy and nutrient packed gem in your hands!
Blueberries: my favourite berries! Packed with vitamin c and k and considered the king of antioxidant foods, they have so many health benefits you simply need to have them in your daily diet!
So, combined these 2 ingredients, gives you a pretty good start to your day or serves as a really good, low calories high energy snack in between meals.
Cinnamon, All spice mixes (cardamon, nutmeg, gloves) and Ginger together = Autumn / Winter is on! So, this is yet another recipe with all these, plus other feel good ingredients that give you healthy and really tasty and comforting snacks for the week! Continue reading “Spicy oatmeal healthy bars”
Maybe it’s a bit of a cliche, but I wanted to make something wit pumpkin, other that soup or roasted or a pie! So, this recipe came up – well balanced flavour wise, full of nutrients your body will love, full of aromas and somewhat of a guilt free treat!
I have been ‘silent’ for a month and I apologise! But I’m back with a bang! So, what a way to start your week, if not with lots of energy! We are what we eat and what we eat either fuels us for the best or worse.
So, a few of my favourites in this recipe: chia seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, almond butter, pistachios and oats! I hope you enjoy these, i know your body will thank you.
Omega 3, Calcium, Protein, Fiber, Copper, Magnesium, Manganese, Vitamins C, B amongst a few! All things good and healthy! What is there not to like about these bars?! The thing is, when i was making these, i really wanted to load them with as much goodness as possible, and i think we are there! They are delicious, super nutritious and fuel you for hours.
I think this is probably my new breakfast obsession! Super filling, super healthy and soo tasty! Oats are: low in Saturated Fat, and very low in Cholesterol and Sodium. It is also a good source of Dietary Fiber, Thiamin, Magnesium and Phosphorus, and a very good source of Manganese. Chia seeds are: a source of plant protein, very low in Cholesterol and Sodium. It is also a good source of Calcium and Phosphorus, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber and Manganese. Pumpkin seeds: good source of Protein, Magnesium and Zinc.
So, why not give it a go!
