Looking for a yummy, healthy pregnancy snack? Our Oatie Bars are a simple addition to your healthy pregnancy diet and ideal pre-workout fuel!
These delicious bars are full of fruit, nuts and oats, making them ideal for a quick burst of energy before or after your pregnancy workout. Dates are surprisingly good as part of your pregnancy diet – they are high in potassium and contain plenty of fibre whilst brazil nuts are full of selenium – essential to support your immune system.

FittaTip!
For extra pregnancy nutrition, add more fruit! 55gms or so of chopped apricots or a handful of goji berries works well and makes these tasty bars even tastier!
