Homemade Sesame Seed Bars

Making your own snacks to include in your healthy eating plan is a great way to ensure your pregnancy weight loss isn’t derailed by snacking on high calorie foods.

When the need for a snack strikes, having your own healthy, home made snacks on offer is a great way to avoid processed, high- sugar, low-nutrition snacks like chocolate bars, packaged cakes and tubs of ice cream.

These sesame bars are super simple to make, require no baking and are great to take to work, serve at parties or have on hand when the afternoon snack attack strikes!
