These Chill Baked Snack Bars are Very Energy Dense

[DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_SOCIAL_ICONS]These Chill baked snack bars can serve as a nutritious snack or an addition to your breakfast. In case you are interested, I talk about the benefits of chill baking here. The bars are very nutrient dense and have a great macronutrient composition. Due to their high fat content they provide you a long lasting and stable energy. In addition, they will keep your hunger in check.

Flaxseeds, chia seeds, and oats are high in soluble fiber, which is great for our digestive tract! When you add water to soluble fiber it turns into a viscous even gelatinous substance. Because of that quality of soluble fiber they are very helpful to people prone to constipation.

Health Benefits Of Raw Honey

• Only raw unfiltered honey is rich in minerals, enzymes, prebiotics and antioxidants. To keep honey raw we shouldn’t heat it up above 118F because the heat destroys all sensitive compounds in homey.
• Most of the sugar in honey is in the form of simple sugars (monosaccharide), which are much easier to digest. In fact, it doesn’t require any digestion at all, because those simple sugars get absorbed right away.
• Honey, unlike sugar, has strong antibacterial properties and has been used by humans as food and medicine for millennia.

Health Benefits Of Coconut

• The fatty acids in coconut improve nervous system function, boost cognition and memory even in age-related mental decline.
• They are also beneficial for thyroid gland and weight management, healthy cholesterol levels and blood-sugar regulation.
• Coconut’s medium-chain fatty acids also exhibit antiviral, antimicrobial and antifungal properties.
• Use of coconut oil topically can be helpful in many skin disorders.
• The fatty acids in coconut don’t require bile for digestion, like most fats do. They get absorbed easily even by people with fat absorption issues.
• Coconut also enhances breast-milk production, and male sexual function.
