We got in touch with Sara from Ma cuisine de tous les jours to create a recipe with Water Lentil that will be a good fit for the whole family. She came up with the original idea of creating a snack like a « bounty » chocolate bar. Yes, that’s right, like the famous chocolate bars that were so popular in the 90s! Remember their ads on a paradise island? This recipe will warm your heart with the taste of coconut buried under a mountain of chocolate! Perfect as a snack and practical to bring in lunch boxes or for your long days biking or hiking.
This snack is easy, delicious, and become instantly healthier by adding Water Lentil into the recipe. It will add vegan protein, vitamin B12 and essential antioxidants that will help you on your quest for greatness and get your vitality back!
