These protein squares are super nutritious and full of good fats to ensure that good satiety! Not to mention Spirulina, a super powerful seaweed that I’ve explained the benefits here And it brings a beautiful color to recipes. The protein combination comes from hemp seeds, almonds and pumpkin seeds, all are excellent sources of vegetable proteins. So, if you are a vegan or follow a diet predominantly of plant origin, this recipe can be a super powerful snack, believe me!
I love having delicious and healthy snack options at home. even if my appetite for candy is much lower since I made my last sugar reset, this time of year I feel much more inspired to cook and share these delights with my family and friends! I made these raw spirulina and lemon squares thinking about a snack or an option to accompany a coffee or tea, but between us, it’s a great option for any moment!
2017 was a wonderful year and it’s even difficult to describe how many things I’ve learned! But I would like to highlight my biggest personal challenge for 2018, which is to focus on living in the here and now, without being in a hurry to take the next step or stay in that anxiety of the future. Without a doubt it is a continuous work, but honestly, I realize that working this helped me a lot to keep calm during the chaos. Being more present and being patient with myself are my goals for 2018 and for life.
