When we feel fatigued (late afternoon can be a killer) the body can start to crave a sugary snack. Before you know it a couple of choccy biscuits and a sweet tea has made it to your table or desk. Chocolate from the machine is all too easy with lots of empty calories and a rollercoaster sugar spike that will have you  dragging yourself to dinner time.

Our raw 5 seed energy bars will combat all that!

Super simple to make and loaded with energy giving nutrients that will see you through the slump.

The dates and seeds will give you a blast of fibre, Vitamin B12, B6, E, B1, omega 3, selenium, iron, magnesium, zinc and protein.

The addition of our Mum On The Run blend ups the energy and mood boosting properties keeping you focussed on challenging days.

The following quantities makes 15 large bars so freeze for up to 3 months and defrost in your bag ready for the afternoon.

4 tbsp. chia seeds

125g pumpkin seeds
