If your anything like me, Winter is a DANGEROUS time….
Full of cold days and even colder nights filled by the sound of my grumbling belly begging to be heated up by some warm buttery carbs, soups, crumbles, teas and cakes …. At this time there is simply no denying my european genes.
So this is when I need get smart, not tough! And make sure I have plenty of healthy scrumptious snacks and delights prepared for dire times!
This particular recipe was brought to me in a zip lock bag. Handed excitedly over be my beautiful yoga student Tania.
I was soo happy to munch on these after class….. My mouth and belly was in ecstasy …. and my Veganess left intact.
