FLAPJACKS 2-WAYS
The perfect office snack (also a hit with little ones too!)
Got a birthday or a special occasion coming up, or perhaps you just want to treat your staff. This month Evelyn encourages you to take a healthy twist on the office snack and make these flapjacks rather opting for a sugary cake. Sweetened with banana and made with wholegrain oats, these flapjacks not only take great but will also provide your team with a steady source of energy throughout the day. You’ll be everyone’s number one fan, and productivity levels will increase - winning!
We deliver the corporate wellbeing programme for the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and recently Evelyn popped down to their offices with a flapjack delivery (it’s important to taste test the recipes!). It’s safe to say, they were a big hit.
