Sprouts: Super Nutritious & Easy to Make at Home

Sprouts are a tasty and nutritious addition to any meal (or snack), anytime of the day. I love, and so does the rest of the family, tiny little radish sprouts served over cottage cheese….Mmmm! they’re so good. I know what your thinking though….. Sprouting, that’s just too difficult and time consuming for me…I don’t think I can do it. Well I am here to tell you, YES you can! I was once where you are…thinking it was just too difficult.

“German Chocolate” Date Snack Bars

These little snack bars are made of all-natural ingredients with no sugar added. Yet they are wonderfully sweet and satisfying and make for a great little snack when you’re on the go. With how naturally sweet they are, you could definitely have them as an after-dinner treat as well.

Candied Cinnamon Almonds

These candied cinnamon almonds are similar to the ones you get at the mall/busy-city street corner/fair. They are a wonderful treat you can feel good about eating, made with unrefined sweeteners and soaked/dried raw almonds. Serve them warm or completely cooled.

These cocoa almonds are so delicious and good for you and make an excellent snack, or addition to homemade trail mix.
