Skywalker Protein Bar

Keeping in mind the children at our creche in the favelas of Brazil, I was in London at a friend's place whose five-year-old daughter had an insatiable love for sweets. As most children are addicted to sweet treats, this quick and easy recipe can be prepared at home or at school as a nutritious backup 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. Yet the spirit of reaching for higher possibilities lives on in these bars.

The carob tree has a long history in the Middle East, where its pods and beans have been used as food for centuries. Carob is naturally sweet and rich 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 and supporting overall digestive health.
