No-Bake Chocolate Weetbix Slice
This No-Bake Chocolate Weetbix Slice is a simple, satisfying snack that ticks all the boxes for women in perimenopause — especially when those 3pm cravings hit.
It’s loaded with prebiotic fibre and polyphenols to support your gut health, energy, and hormone balance — without the crash that comes from ultra-processed sweets.
And yes, it’s still a hit with the kids too (and totally lunchbox friendly — no nuts!).
You don’t even need the thin layer of dark chocolate on top… but let’s be honest — it does take it to the next level.
Some of the gut-loving ingredients inside include:
-
Wholegrains (from the weetbix)
-
Seeds (sunflower or a mix for variety)
-
Dried fruit – like dates, which contain fructans (a fermentable fibre your gut microbes love!)
-
Honey – a natural source of prebiotics
-
Dark chocolate – rich in polyphenols that may also have a prebiotic effect
It’s quick to prep, keeps well in the fridge or freezer, and makes a perfect addition to your snack rotation if you’re working on reducing bloating, improving mood and keeping your blood sugar steady in peri.
