Honey, Nut Muesli slice full of nuts and seeds and fruit. This will keep them going all day. Yes it has some sugar in it but it has more goodness in a slingle slice than store bought muesli bars.
Once I used to make this Honey, Nut Muesli Slice about 10 times a week. I made it for shops, and all the time just because people at work needed it …. often. I packaged it up and delivered it to cafes in the station wagon. I can have this whipped up and in the tin ready to bake in about 10 minutes if necessary. I am sure once that you have made it a few times you will be an old hat at it too.
There is sugar and butter in here along with the honey but it is a dose of fibre seeds and nuts. In fact it would make a much better breakfast than most cereals. You can be sure it has no palm oil or any other filler that might not be good for you. I would much rather eat this delicious easy Muesli slice than any thing you can buy from a shop and so will your friends and family. Give it a try.
