Starting the day off right is excellent for the mind. Fueling the mind can help; starting your work or school is healthy for you. This honey muesli bar is also great for the body. Protein-rich bars are great for breakfast on the go (don’t forget the long black coffee too!), snacks for school or even a great snack after a workout.

Ingredients
1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
1 cups pitted dates, medjool is good
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup almond butter
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¾ cup almonds finely chopped.
1 ½ cups of oats
Pinch of salt
- Preheat the oven to 180c (160c fan force) grease and line a 20cm square baking tin with greaseproof paper
- Pulse the dates in a food processor until broken up and dough-like consistency, and then place them in a bowl. If the dates are a bit dry, you can soak them in water for 10 mins before and drain them before processing.
- Warm the honey with the almond butter and cinnamon in a saucepan set over low heat, keep stirring until smooth and melted.
- Pour the almond and honey mixture into the dates bowl and add the oats. Add the chopped almond (I use a pestle and mortar to chop the almonds finely) and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon.
- Pack the mixture into the prepared baking tin, smoothing the top to flat—Bake for 20 mins or until golden on top.
- Remove from the tin and place on a cooling rack. Once cool, cut into bite-size bars and serve.
Marshmallow & Weet-Bix Slice
Now this recipe I actually got from Australia's Best Recipes, But it was something my Mum use to make, I just couldn't remember how to make it. My boys love WeetBix for breakfast and have done literally since the day they were born. I mean who didn't grow up on WeetBixs Right? Its every babies first breakfast food outside of the puree everything!.
Vegan Blueberry Cookies
You know you are onto a good recipe when the kids ask you for it and you make it twice in one week. These Blueberry Vegan Cookies are a huge hit in my household. I’ve never really tried any vegan products or food before and the "veganism" is through a lot of countries around the world and is incredibly good for the environment.
