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.
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.
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 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!
What’s there not to love about berries?! A single day does not pass by that I don’t eat one berry or another! The latest addition to my pantry is acai powder; and I am going wild!! Lol! A few words on acai berries: they are packed with antioxidants, amino acids, good fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Hence they are a great antioxidant source, aiding in neutralizing damaging free radicals, boost your energy levels, support the immune system and promote a healthy digestive system, among other!
As far as tastes goes, to me it tastes like chocolaty wine! If that makes sense!
OK, I admit it… I just took almost all seeds and nuts my pantry had and threw them in the mixer! With some oats, raisins, cinnamon and vanilla! And the result is sooo good! And filling! And packed with protein, fiber, vitamins! Ideal as breakfast on the go or a snack.
