Muesli bars are a happy past time from the good old school days. As a child, I remember my translucent pink lunch box filled to the brim with packets, most noteworthy of all was the muesli bar. My mum did her best to feed us a real food diet at home, but school was a different story all together. Parents were under the impression back then that kids needed readily available energy from carbohydrate-rich and calorie-dense foods, hence the traditional muesli bar... (packed full of sugar and refined carbohydrates).

The traditional Muesli Bar turned 'real food' snack

The Infamous Chia Pudding and Raspberry Chia Jam
I’m no rice pudding or porridge girl… which is why I was pleasantly surprised by my first taste of chia pudding. This delectable breakfast (or dessert) is creamy, smooth on the tongue, and incredibly satisfying. I had it before a day of work and it took me through till lunchtime.
In all honesty, I was particularly dubious
about the health food craze around chia seeds. A tiny quantity of small seeds
soaked in liquid overnight to be demolished the next day, didn’t exactly
represent a meal in my mind, but had more in common with a smoothie. How wrong
was I?!
