So I managed to break my blender a few weeks ago. I must have been half asleep one evening and stupidly stuck a spoon in it while it was on! (who does that!!) Needless to say it smashed into pieces but as they say with the bad comes the good and i now have a brand spanking new amazing bright yellow kitchenaid blender on it's way to me in the next day or 2. So excited!
In the meantime, not sure if you have noticed, i have been improvising and making recipes that do not need a high powered blender/food processor. This creation of mine is one such recipe.
These squares are packed with superfoods (Maca & Cacao) and a whole host of other healthy ingredients.
Amazing post exercise snack to boost the energy levels!
