PAMOJA SKINCARE ENERGY BITES RECIPE


🍫 Why we love them....

Low in Sugar, High in Energy

One of the standout features of these bites is their balanced sugar content. With only 2-3 grams of natural sugar per bite (depending on the sweetener you choose), these snacks are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without causing a spike in blood sugar. The combination of healthy fats, fibre, and protein ensures a steady energy release, helping to keep you focused and energised throughout your day.

A Snack for Every Occasion

Dark Chocolate Turmeric Energy Bites are versatile and portable, making them ideal for a busy lifestyle. These bites are so convenient whether you’re heading to work, running errands, or simply needing an afternoon pick-me-up. They’re also freezer-friendly, so you can make a batch ahead of time and enjoy them whenever you need a quick boost.

Easy to Make

With just a handful of ingredients and no baking required, these energy bites are incredibly simple to prepare.  In less than 15 minutes, you’ll have a nutrient-packed snack that’s ready to go.

Nutritional Benefits Tailored for Perimenopause and Menopause

Dark Chocolate Turmeric Energy Bites are more than just a tasty treat—they’re a powerhouse of health benefits tailored for women navigating perimenopause.

  • Dark Chocolate (70% cocoa or higher): Rich in flavonoids, dark chocolate helps reduce inflammation and boosts circulation, which can improve skin health. It also contains magnesium, a vital mineral that supports mood regulation, reduces stress, and aids in better sleep - all crucial during perimenopause.

  • Turmeric: This golden spice is well-known for its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, can help ease joint pain, reduce redness and puffiness in the skin, and support overall wellbeing.

  • Almond Butter: A great source of healthy fats, almond butter provides vitamin E, which helps maintain skin’s elasticity and hydration. It also contains magnesium, supporting bone health and energy levels.  We love Nutural World nut butters which are completely peanut-free!

  • Oats: Packed with fibre, oats promote healthy digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels, keeping you fuller for longer and reducing sugar cravings.  We love jumbo organic oats.  

  • Honey or Maple Syrup: While these natural sweeteners add a touch of sweetness, they have a lower glycemic index than refined sugar, making them a better option for maintaining balanced blood sugar levels.

  • Cinnamon: This warming spice supports healthy blood sugar levels and can help curb cravings - a common challenge during perimenopause.

  • Coconut (Optional): Shredded coconut adds a boost of healthy fats to nourish your skin and support brain health.

Supporting Your Wellbeing, One Bite at a Time

Perimenopause is a time to nurture yourself, and these Dark Chocolate Turmeric Energy Bites are a delicious step in the right direction.

They’re not just a snack - they’re a way to fuel your body, support your skin, and embrace a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.
