Raw Cacao Covered Spirulina & Mulberry Crunch Bar Recipe
This week has been a little calmer for me which has allowed me to do what I enjoy most. Get back into the kitchen and create delicious, plantbased recipes! There is something about having your ideas come to life while your favourite tunes are playing and everyone in the house is tasting your little concoctions. For me that’s really when my home comes alive.
My Raw Cacao Covered Spirulina & Mulberry Crunch Bar Recipe is a recipe I have been wanting to do for a while now. I love sweet snacks, that have a crunch, so dipping seeds in chocolate was a no brainer with this one. Along with all of the satisfaction of this snack you are sure to get a ton of nutritional benefits!
