Zucchini Bread
I cut the carbs by using half almond flour, I add a bit more zucchini than most recipes and some raisins for added sweetness. I’m happy with this product, it came out fantastic!

Why is this healthy? A lot of granola bars and breakfast bars have a TON of ingredients that aren’t even food. Stabilizers, powders, gums oh my! They also LACK protein and fiber, which are two main things I look for when i’m buying my snacks.
I believe that having something real is more satisfying to the body and mind. The chocolate chips are an awesome touch as a sweet snack 🙂
