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!
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.
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.
There is something about granola that i simply cannot resist! I love topping my smoothie bowls with it, my nut yoghurt or chia puddings, or just have it with milk. And this recipe gives you so much goodness in every spoon. Almonds, Cashews, Goji Berries, Pumpkin Seeds, Linseed Seeds, Coconut Oil …. need i say more!
I hope you enjoy it!
I don’t know many people who don’t like the combination of chocolate and orange. Well, I’m not one of them! I actually love it, so i think this is the second or third recipe with these flavours! I hope you like them.
After a short break, I’m back! Back to my beloved ingredients, recipes and food processor!! So I just had to make these new energy balls with some of my favourite ingredients – i think you will like them!
Yes, it can be done: carrots can be used in your smoothies! And you know what? They are delicious! You just need to use your imagination – pair them with a bit of vanilla, acave or maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger and voila!
And it’s also nutritious:
carrots are the source not only of beta-carotene, but also of a wide variety of antioxidants and other health-supporting nutrients.
pineapple is packed with vitamin C – the body’s primary water-soluble antioxidant, manganese and vitamins B6 and B1
ginger is known for its noninflammatory actions as well as gastrointestinal relieving powers.
cinnamon is reach in manganese, fiber and calcium.
Maybe, just maybe I’ve convinced you to try this one? 🙂
What is there not to love about hemp seeds?! They are a great source of protein, omega 6 and 3, fiber and contain all essential amino acids! So it’s a very good idea to try and incorporate them in your daily routine – and these bars are a tasty solution.
