Blueberry Brainy Stacks
These cute little blueberry stacks make a quick and easy snack that your children are bound to devour. With protein-rich almond butter, little bursts of blueberry and finished off with a few dark chocolate chips, this is a true super-snack packed full of brainy polyphenols as well as lots of flavour!
Whip these up for Valentine’s Day. They make a great post-sport or after-school snack. They also make fantastic homework fuel or a winning exam revision snack with all those polyphenols in the blueberries and dark chocolate. I’ve gone with a heart-shaped cutter here, but you can simply stack everything onto a slice of bread or toast if you are in a rush.

Blueberry Brainy Stack
Ingredients
- 1 slice Bread (wholemeal or sourdough is my preference)
- 1 tsp Almond Butter
- 6 Blueberries (halved)
- 12 Dark Chocolate (chips/drops)
Instructions
- Using your favourite cookie cutter, carefully cut the slice of bread into two heart shapes. This step is optional and it is ok to just slice a piece of bread or toast in half.
- Spread each piece evenly with the almond butter.
- Top with the halved blueberries and sprinkle over the dark chocolate chips. Press these down a little to help everything to stick.
- Serve straight away.
Notes
Per serving. Nutrition content in food is never consistent, so take these estimates with a pinch of salt! Also, our recipes tend to use low-GI carbs and sugars, so these values are not directly comparable with shop-bought UPFs.
