Hemp Seeds
Hemp seeds may be a new ingredient for you. Lean in. Give them a try. They have a nutty flavor and are a good source of both protein and omega 3 fats.
Store them in the fridge and use leftover hemp seeds in your smoothies. You can also sprinkle on top of your yogurt and salads.
Pepitas
What in the heck is a pepita? Glad you asked.
Pepitas are pumpkin seeds without the shell. They provide a plant-based source of both fat and proteins so they can help diversify your food sources. Pepitas provide a great crunch to the bars.
Warning Label
While the bars are more nutritious than many desserts made with simple sugars and overly processed ingredients, they are also calories dense. Not something to freak out about but something to be mindful of. Savor each bite full of flavor rather than scarfing them down. They are a special treat to be cherished.
Time Savings
The bars are PERFECT for batch cooking or preparing a large quantity at once. Wrap bars individually or in small batches and freeze so that you can enjoy beyond the current week. Make once. Enjoy many times. Hello, time savings!!!
