I like to make coconut pecan prune bars when I’m doing a fasting mimicking plan of eating. It’s a clean, healthy breakfast I use as a “go to” for satisfying hunger. After all, keeping hunger at bay, and finding ways to feel confident and secure in maintaining a lifestyle pattern is important!
The best part is these coconut pecan prune bars are simple to prepare for a busy week! They store easily in the fridge and pack easily for lunches or snacks, too.
The recipe makes 16 bars and each one offers 4 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber, 34 mg calcium, a little magnesium, and healthy monosaturated fats. The calorie count for each bar runs about 149.
You can read more about anti-inflammatory foods and a simple Seven Day Detox Plan here on the blog, if you want more ideas on how to clean up eating habits. It’s like most of the recipes on my blog which emphasize the whole food way of eating.
After all, whole food from the garden is how God designed us to eat. Our bodies like it and function much better than with man-made food. We are able to decrease inflammation and heal our bodies at the cellular level.
I love when my clients report how getting away from ultra-processed food helps them and their families live healthier lives. They become confident using wisdom and discernment in everyday decisions when choosing things to eat, the same way they are making spiritual decisions.
God gave us His word to feed our souls and His garden to feed our bodies! A perfect plan for our good, in which we have absolute freedom to accept or deny.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
