Healthy, because

Even smarter

These little snacks are full of protein and energizing carbohydrates because of the seeds and oats. It will lead to satiation because of the protein, fiber, and the complex carbs. Many conventional snacks like chips have a lot of oil and unhealthy fats, so these are a perfect way to snack that won't lead to an energy crash. 

You can use coconut sugar instead of cane sugar for an even healthier option, and you can use whatever seeds you prefer.
