Comment recipe

It is almost the end of winter in our wonderful country, South Africa. We have had one of the coldest winters in decades! Colder weather often triggers hunger or cravings, and having seasonal, healthy snacks at hand might just curb unwanted over eating or prevent eating the wrong foods. Peanut butter provides healthy proteins, cinnamon is a great blood sugar stabiliser and a powerful anti-oxidant. When combined with strawberries, you have the perfect snack that is also quick to prepare!
