Honey Joy Nut Bars

Every bite will take you back to childhood parties, aghhhh honey joys! These bars are full of good fats which we need to eat more of to reduce heart disease, diabetes & reduce any inflammation in the body. Being loaded with nuts & seeds also means they’re loaded with protein, which will help to keep you fuller for longer.

The key to improving your gut health & therefore overall health is diversity! Get as many different nuts & seeds into these as you can. This will allow for different textures & different nutrients. I highly recommend a variety of nuts & seeds for those trying to fall pregnant.

A lot of the nut bars available at the supermarket are loaded with additives & emulsifiers…not these, the simplest of ingredients & highly nutritious. A homemade version of store-bought KIND bars.

Make a batch at the start of the week to have as on-the-go snacks!
