Do you feel that? Spring is in the air. The days are going to get warmer, the sun is staying up longer and we’re on the count down to summer. What better way to kick off spring, than with this nutrient dense slice. The perfect addition to that picnic you’ve got planned.
The standout ingredients in this slice are the macadamias, apricots and sunflower seeds. Macadamias and apricots are a match made in heaven, but the sunflower seeds are a delicious bonus. Did you know that hundreds of sunflower seeds come from the yellow sunflower head? Sunflower seeds contain magnesium, selenium and copper, and are high in Vitamin E. A quarter cup of seeds provide you with over 80% of your daily Vitamin E requirements. And because Vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin, the polyunsaturated fat (read – the oil within the seed) assists your body with the absorption.
So get ready, because this slice will fill up your belly, whilst you fill up your love cup.
