A lot of sweet treats don't do much for your microbiome. Consider these a worthy exception.
The idea here is simple: A no-bake bite that actually earns its place in your routine. With mashed banana for natural sweetness, almond butter for binding power, and a full sachet of LOAM folded right into the dough. Every ingredient pulls double duty as a fiber hit. Dare we say it's a daily supplement masquerading as an indulgent snack?
Each bite clocks in at 3–4g of prebiotic fiber, which means just a couple of these gets you meaningfully closer to your daily fiber goal—something most of us fall short of. (Roughly 95% of adults don't hit their daily fiber targets.)
They take about 10 minutes to make, last all week in the fridge, and travel well enough to toss in your bag on the way out the door. Do your future self a solid by making a batch for the week on Sunday.
Roll them in cinnamon sugar. Keep them cold. Eat them often.
