Recipe: Chewy Cinnamon & Seed Snacks

Recipe: Chewy Cinnamon & Seed Snacks
April 30, 2021Recipes

Snacks can be a great way to bridge the gap between meals and keep us energized throughout the day. But satiety and energy levels depend entirely on what goes into those snacks! Incorporating healthy fat and protein sources, like nuts and seeds, ensures the snack truly satisfies hunger. Get some bonus points for cinnamon with its supportive research in stabilizing blood sugar levels!

The seeds and nut butter in this recipe can be mixed and matched to accommodate your preferences or to simply use what you have on hand. One beneficial aspect of the seeds in these bites is their richness in nutrients like zinc and selenium. These minerals are beneficial for boosting immune function, supporting thyroid health, and reducing cellular damage that generally accumulates over time.

No matter the reason, whip up a batch of these Chewy Cinnamon & Seed Snacks for easy snacking any day of the week!
