We constantly hear about the importance of incorporating certain changes in our lifestyle and thus support overall health, and despite regular exercise, a healthy and balanced diet is a priority.
However, when we think of healthy, we do not usually associate it with tasty. It is not easy to stick to healthy desserts and snacks, and we usually impulsively decide to grab a high-calorie snack after all.
Yet, it doesn’t have to be that way, as apparently, snacks can be incredibly delicious and healthy at the same time.
Today, we decided to share the recipe of our mouthwatering, keto-friendly chocolatey crunch bars, that contain no sugar but are rich in superfoods, seeds, and nuts. First of all, you should make the following simple homemade chocolate spread in advance.
