These joyful sunshine bars contain many of my favourite anti inflammatory ingredients - turmeric, seeds inc flax, oats, extra virgin olive oil, figs & ginger!
That’s because they are full of beneficial prebiotic fibre, polyphenols (plant compounds which have anti-inflammatory effects), phytoestrogens, vitamin A & E, Omega 3 oils, calcium & magnesium - all so important during the perimenopause & menopause at helping reduce symptoms.
They are only faintly sweet in taste because I developed this recipe so I could have a portable breakfast meal. Check the flavour of the mixture before you tip it out into a baking tin. If it is not sweet enough for your taste, then add a little more.
At my Retreats this year, I'll be making these bars, and talking in more detail about their benefits and why. For more information, please go to my Retreat page here.
If you are following a low histamine diet then I suggest the following swaps:
*Swap all the seeds & nuts to a mixture of: chia, hemp, pumpkin.
*Leave out the figs & yoghurt/kefir
*Swap the orange juice and zest for milk (cow or plant etc) or use water.
*Add 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger for flavour.
