We’re breakfast fiends here at IQS, so any new recipe addition to our morning cook up repertoire (especially if it contains peanut butter) is a good thing indeed.
Today we’ve mingled two of our favourite whole food ingredients: pumpkin and peanut butter, and blended with oats for a breakfast-y flair. We’ve also added our go-to protein powder by Bare Blends. We used their unsweetened Bare Whey Protein Isolate for a much-needed early morning protein boost, which will help curb sugar cravings until lunch time. The result? A delectable, chewy and utterly satisfying snack bar to munch on the go or at your desk.
