Peanut Butter Hemp Crispy Treats

These Peanut butter Hemp Crispy Treats honour a special type of nostalgia but are healthy, vegan and gluten free!

Happy February everyone! I am kicking it off with a healthy snack that is fun to eat, easy to make and won’t give you any of the guilt (who needs that) of indulging. Guilt around food has become a hot topic. I have always been honest with you guys saying I am no nutritionist but I do follow a bunch. Shame around food and what we put in and on our bodies has become the trend in 2021 and I for one am here for it.

Snacking is a must for me. I have shared with you about my alcoholism and giving up cigarettes, drugs and the like. Coffee has been on the chopping block once or twice but I pulled the trigger on that one. A girl has to have at least one vice (ok, maybe two) and for me snacks and coffee, well, suffice to say, they are staying.

LETS GET SNACKING
