Snack recipes that taste too good to be healthy.
Prep on a Sunday, store in the fridge or freezer, grab-and-go all week.
Brownie Date Slice
Chocolate lovers, start here. A fudgy brownie base, a layer of squishy medjool dates and chocolate on top: it tastes like a treat, but it's dairy free, gluten free and refined sugar free. Every two dates bring around 3g of fibre, and because they don't freeze solid, you can eat a square straight from the freezer. Ten minutes on a Sunday gets you a tray ready for the week.

Perky Nana Bars
This one's a trip down memory lane. A brownie base, a banana layer and smooth chocolate ganache bring back everything you loved about the Perky Nana chocolate bar, in a homemade version. Cashews do the heavy lifting here, with a small handful giving you around a fifth of your daily magnesium. Your 3pm slump doesn't stand a chance. Sort your snacks, win your week. The recipe is waiting for you in the Two Raw Sisters App.
Salted Pretzel Slice
Can't decide between sweet and salty? You don't have to. A cookie dough base, vanilla butter, chocolate and crunchy pretzels make this slice all about texture, with something new in every bite. The almond butter sneaks in some vitamin E too, since almonds are one of the best nut sources of it. It's the snack that wins over even the “I'm not really a sweets person” crowd. Grab the recipe on the Two Raw Sisters App.
Caramel Butter Cookie Dough Bars
Who said cookie dough was just for baking? These bars capture the joy of sneaking a spoonful from the bowl, with a generous layer of caramel butter and a drizzle of chocolate on top. So how can it be healthy? The secret ingredient is cannellini beans, and you won't even know they're there. A can brings around 18g of protein and 15g of fibre, so this snack actually keeps you full. Find the full recipe on the Two Raw Sisters App.
Banoffee Bars
Banoffee pie, but make it portable. Shortbread, chocolate and a creamy, banana ice-cream-like layer come together in a bar that's sweet, satisfying and suspiciously good. A whole cup of peanut butter goes into the batch, adding 65g of protein, so these will tide you over until dinner. Pack one for work, the school run or the drive home. Try it on the Two Raw Sisters App.
