Toffee Crunch Bars
My Toffee Crunch Bars are not just a treat—they’re a powerhouse of hormone-friendly ingredients and protein. Made with hazelnut butter and chopped hazelnuts, these bars are packed with healthy fats and magnesium to support balanced hormones and reduce inflammation. The cacao nibs provide a natural mood boost while offering antioxidants that promote heart health and reduce stress. I used my favourite low glycemic sweetener yacon syrup to help regulate blood sugar levels, supporting overall hormone health. Dates add natural sweetness and fibre, aiding digestion without causing sugar spikes. Puffed quinoa, a complete protein source, adds crunch and keeps you full and satisfied, while the protein powder is essential for muscle recovery and maintaining lean body mass. Why settle for sugar-laden desserts when you can nourish your body with something delicious AND nutritious? Elevate your snacking with these Gold Standard Approved Toffee Crunch Bars!
