This delicious little snack-et is for those moments on a Sunday afternoon when you're seeking a little comfort before you head into a new week, time to take 5 and chill OUT with a cuppa. Perfect with dollops of homemade raspberry chia jam.
We have added some Mesquite powder which has great minerals as well as being a good source of protein, as well as some Mucuna which helps nourish the brain's reward and pleasure centers by naturally tapping into the dopamine neurotransmitter, which also helps regulate movement and emotional responses, enabling us not only to see rewards, but to take action to move toward them. With all the other great spices such as ginger and cinnamon, these little morsels are also great to help boost the immune system, while the eggs and almond meal helps energise us. A parcel of yummy topped with a dash of pleasure... yes please.
Mesquite
Mesquite powder, also know as Algarrobo, is native to Peru, Ecuador and Columbia and for centuries was a staple food for ancient South American desert dwellers. Boasting 10g protein per 100g, studies* suggest it can also help balance blood sugar levels.
Mucuna
Mucuna — also known as Velvet Bean — is a legume, traditionally used for general wellbeing, the brain and hormones, is classified as an Adaptogen, and listed as a nutraceutical nootropic.

Eggs
