A simple and delicious snack, and wonderful for just about any of us. I refer to this recipe as a formula as you can vary the nuts, seeds, berries, spice and sweetener plus you can add other things you like. Below is a simple guide, and you can make it as you like it. 

This is also a great snack for if you:

– are pregnant (and also if you have Gestational Diabetes)

– are breastfeeding 

– trying to conceive or soon to try

– undergoing IVF

– have endometriosis and/or adenomyosis

– have PCOS

– experience period pain/pelvic pain

– are needing extra fibre to help keep you regular

This is also a great snack for teenagers, in fact recently I’ve recommended a few young clients try this (and each time to vary the berries and nuts/nut butter for variety) .

The below provides a guide to an amount that fits a loaf tin well. You can certainly make less or more and use any tin or container you like.

You need:

• Rolled oats – 1/2 cup
• Nut butter (peanut, almond, a mix) – 3 Tablespoons
• Chopped nuts (any nuts you like) – 2-3 Tablespoons
• Seeds (any you like) – 1-2 Tablespoons
• A sweetener: a tiny little splash, I suggest maple syrup or honey, or you could use coconut sugar 
• Coconut oil – 1-2 Tablespoons 
• Frozen berries or dried berries (or, no berries at all) – A handful 
• Salt – a tiny pinch

Optional:

• Cocoa or cacao powder (I suggest 1 Tablespoon)
• Cinnamon – a sprinkle
• Coconut flakes – If you love coconut, I suggest adding 2 or more Tablespoons
• Buckwheat (for crunch) – I suggest a Tablespoon
•  

Method:

Put all in a bowl and mix well. The mixture needs to be sticky but not runny. Once sticky, press the mixture into a tray/tin and freeze or place in the fridge. Once firm, cut into bars and store in the freezer or fridge.
