27 Jan Mixed nut cereal Bars
small but mighty
These Mighty Bars will keep you going through that afternoon slump.
As we know nuts are a great source of energy.
Nuts and no added sugar nut butters are low in carbohydrates. They are also high in fibre and protein, which increases the amount of time the body takes to digest them. As a result, nuts release their energy slowly without spiking blood glucose levels.
So just one of these mighty bars will soothe that sugar craving and keep you full until supper time.
I add cinnamon to mine as I love the spice and at this time of year it gives them a little warmth.
I hope you enjoy these little gems of goodness. Let me know what you think below. I’d love to hear. xx
