Why this recipe is good for you

This recipe is especially rich in Omega-3, Fibre and Iron.

  • Omega-3 — Omega-3 fats support heart, brain and mood health, and are important in pregnancy for your baby’s brain and eye development.
  • Fibre — Fibre supports healthy digestion, helps steady your blood sugar, and feeds the good bacteria in your gut.
  • Iron — Iron helps carry oxygen around your body and supports steady energy. It’s a priority nutrient for menstruating women, during pregnancy, and for anyone eating mostly plant-based.

A grab-and-go mix of nuts, seeds and dried fruit for a fibre and plant omega-3 top-up between meals.
