These are the best ever quick and easy snack and only have 4 ingredients: almonds, spirulina, lemon peel, and dates! They're plant-based, raw, super alkaline and SO delicious. Best part? They're quick and easy and take all of 5 minutes to make. Spirulina, besides having a very funny name, is one of the world’s most nutritionally complete superfoods. It’s a blue-green algae that is not only a source of complete plant-based protein, but also an immune booster superstar. This ingredient is loaded with calcium and promotes cell regeneration, helping you heal faster and stay healthier on the move. The really great thing about spirulina is that it helps control inflammation which is the grand-daddy of most food-related allergy symptoms and general health issues that are out there.
