Nutritional Profile
Wholegrain oats bring slow-releasing carbohydrates, fibre, and B-vitamins to support steady energy and gut health.
Almond flour adds healthy monounsaturated fats and vitamin E to nourish the brain and support hormone and skin health, while helping you feel fuller for longer.
Hemp seeds contribute plant-based protein, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, essential for brain function, reducing inflammation, and supporting long-term energy.
Rapadura sugar is a natural, unrefined cane sugar that retains its natural minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
Together, these ingredients create a balanced snack rich in good fats, fibre, and plant protein, helping stabilise blood sugar, improve satiety, and nourish both body and brain.
