We are only given one life so it’s very important to enjoy it, and life is too short not to have a piece of cake and eat it! By switching the normal digestive biscuit base to oats and walnuts, you are not only adding protein, you are also using slow releasing carbohydrates which will help to ensure your blood sugar levels do not spike. These small adjustments help you to sustain a healthy balanced life.
