Homemade crackers
Prepare homemade crackers from oatmeal and seeds. We recommend chia seeds or flax seeds.
SWEET
Fruit mix
Prepare your own mix of dried or freeze-dried fruit. We recommend dried apple, lyophilized strawberries or other wild fruits.
Chia pudding
Prepare chia pudding at the beginning of the week as a healthy afternoon snack is catered for. Mix chia seeds with a vegetable drink, add a sweetener according to your preference and fruit. Enjoy chilled.
Homemade yogurt
Have you ever tried to make homemade coconut yogurt? All you have to do is buy a can of thick coconut milk, a probiotic (we recommend one that you have to store in the cold and they are in capsules). Add the coconut milk to a large glass, add the probiotics and mix with a wooden spoon. Cover with a cloth so that the coconut milk can “breathe”. Leave to rest for two days and then store in the refrigerator.
