Skywalker Protein Bar
Keeping in mind the kids of our creche in the Favelas in Brazil at the time of making this, I was in London at a friend’s place whose 5-year-old loved sweets. As most kids are so addicted to sweets, this quick and easy recipe can be prepared at home or at school as a backup sweet snack during busy days.
The name “skywalker” was given in honor of a project proposal aimed at supporting teenagers at our Youth Training Center, which unfortunately closed due to funding issues.
The Carob tree has a long history in the Middle East, where its pods and beans have been used as food. Carob is high in tannins that help combat toxins in the digestive tract and prevent harmful bacterial growth. These tannins also have a drying effect, making carob an effective remedy for diarrhea.
