Tasty Nutrient Rich Treats

Indulge in the world of nutrient-dense foods, carefully crafted to satisfy your cravings while providing a boost to your overall well-being. These treats may look like your average snacks but pack an impressive punch when it comes to essential vitamins and minerals.

Sweet Delights​

One such treat is the humble energy ball, made from rolled oats, nut butter, and dried fruits. These bite-sized balls are not only easy on the palate but also rich in fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants. A perfect snack for post-workout recovery or a quick pick-me-up during the day.

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey

Mix all ingredients together until well combined. Roll into small balls and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

Savory Delights​

Another treat that ticks all the right boxes is roasted chickpeas seasoned with herbs and spices. These crispy morsels are a great source of protein, fiber, and various minerals like potassium and magnesium. Enjoy them as a snack or use them as a topping for salads and wraps.

  • 1 can chickpeas
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt to taste

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the chickpeas and dry thoroughly with a paper towel. Mix together olive oil, paprika, and salt in a bowl. Add the chickpeas and toss until well coated. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes or until crispy.

Nutritious Goodies​

Lastly, we have the mighty banana oat pancakes made with mashed bananas and oats. These fluffy treats are not only high in fiber but also an excellent source of potassium, vitamins C and B6, and minerals like iron and zinc. Top them with fresh fruits and nuts for added nutrition.

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 egg
  • Pinch of salt

Mash the bananas in a bowl until smooth. Add oats, egg, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine. Cook on a non-stick pan like regular pancakes. Serve with your favorite toppings.

Enjoy your delicious and nutritious treats while reaping the rewards of a healthier you!
