Super easy to make, they’re a weekly fixture in our household - they contain no refined sugar, dairy or gluten but still heavy on the sweet stuff from the dates. They’re jam packed with plant proteins to keep you energised, essential nutrients, good fats and antioxidants to keep the rest of your body systems humming. These are way better for you than a chocolate bar or biscuit as an afternoon pick me up. All that and they take literally minutes to make...what are you waiting for?!

Since they are gluten free and made with a truckload of veggies and herbs with a little cheese, eggs and buckwheat flour, they are pretty guilt free.
Read moreLeafy greens are the most readily available super-food ever. They hold more nutrients and vitamins per calorie than any other food, and most people don’t realise that they are actually supposed to eat at least 2 or 3 portions of leafy greens everyday to get their required dose of vitamins A, C, E, K, B vitamins not to mention tons of minerals, fiber and even protein.

So super they need a cape, right...?!
