A busy week ahead mean a little preparation today – I’ll be whipping up a batch of these super easy to make Organic Gemini Tigernut Smoothie Bars and storing them in the freezer ready for breakfast or a snack on the go when things get a little hectic! ⠀
Tigernuts are my favorite source of prebiotics or resistant starch – the fibre that feeds the bacteria in our digestive system. Our modern day diets are woefully low in this type of fibre, so I try and have at least one serving every day.
TigerNut Smoothie Bars ⠀
(makes 10 bars)⠀
- 2 scoops vanilla vegan protein powder⠀(I like @truenutrition)
- 1 cup gluten free oats⠀
- 1/2 cup TigerNut Flour (or almond flour)⠀
- 1/2 cup finely shredded coconut ⠀
- 1/4 cup almond butter⠀
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon⠀
- 1/2 teaspoon salt⠀
- 2 cups almond milk ⠀
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Line a glass dish with parchment paper, and pour in mixture. Replace the lid on the dish, and place in the freezer. Leave to freeze for at least 2 hours, then cut into bars, and return to the freezer. Remove the each bar from the freezer at least 20 minutes before you wish to eat. ⠀
