Almond Butter Choc Brekkie Bars
Almond Butter Choc Brekkie Bars/
Why this is peri-perfect… This almond choc oat protein bar is more than just breakfast - it’s a steadying little powerhouse for your hormones. The high-protein base (thanks to protein powder, eggs, and Greek yoghurt) helps support muscle, metabolism, and satiety - key for women in perimenopause when protein needs are higher. Rolled oats and apple bring in slow, fibre-rich carbs to balance blood sugar and keep energy stable. Healthy fats from almond butter and olive oil provide lasting fuel while also supporting hormone health. And of course, a touch of dark chocolate and cacao satisfies those sweet cravings in a way that feels both nourishing and decadent.
