Benefits

Apples are an extremely rich in important antioxidant flavonoids & dietary fiber.
Sultanas are a good source of energy & B vitamins, electrolytes & minerals. When seedless grapes are dehydrated to produce sultanas, the nutrients become more concentrated & absorb the flavour of the apple & carrots in this recipe.
Natural nut butters are a fantastic alternative to peanut butter & don’t contain the unhealthy saturated fats. This makes them a great protein source when consumed in moderation.
