On these gloomy days, all I think about is gobbling up pastries and watching new films that I haven't gotten around to. But, as I try to stay on the health train, probably not the best idea to go to the bakery and munch on a box of doughnuts! So here comes another day of creating a delicious and guilt-free breakfast bar.
Okay, so this isn't strictly for breakfast. It's perfect for a tasty snack on the go, paired with an afternoon tea or a post-dinner treat. All I'm saying is that it's low in sugar, high in protein, and a perfect get-up-and-go bar to take with you on the road. Plus, it has a soft and light texture that won't break your jaw in the early morning!

A bit about Botanica Perfect Protein:
Botanica is a beautiful Canadian company that produces herbal and functional foods to help enhance everyone's health. What is particularly fantastic about Botanica's Perfect Protein is that it is a simple plant-based protein powder that contains only three sources of organic protein, which are gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy free.
The best thing about this protein powder is that it's stevia free! If you are sick and tired of all those protein powders filled with stevia, then you must try this out. The only sweetener in this tub is monk fruit, a beautiful sugar alternative with blood sugar benefits.
So if you are looking for a healthy source of protein that is easy to mix and drink, this may be the one for you!
How do you make your treats healthy? What's your favorite grab-and-go snack to take with you?
Until next time, stay well!
