These tasty, nutritious hemp superfood energy protein bars easy to make and are AMAZING! Once you make your own, you will be hooked. Homemade nutrition bars are great for “on-the-go” snacks, post workout, hiking, outdoor activities, or just whenever!
Benefits of making your own bars:
1. So much more affordable!
2. You can personalize and add your own specific ingredients (according to your own personal tastes and bar texture preference).
3. They are made with whole food nutrition.
4. you can change up the recipe for versatility, your nutritional needs and for different flavors.
1. Place almonds in food processor and process till ground up (which ever consistency your prefer).
2. Add dates, hemp seeds, sunflower and pumpkin seeds and pulse repeatedly till combined.
3. Add Ergogenics Plant protein and super food berries and pulse a few times to incorporate.
4. Add lemon juice and zest and pulse till it forms a big sticky ball (add more dates or lemon juice if needed).
5. Press dough into a baking dish, or free hand shape into a rectangle and cut with cookie cutter shapes, or just into squares. It is easier to press into a pan, refrigerate and then cut into shapes/squares, sprinkle fine coconuts and almond crumbs for garnish.
6. Wrap each one individually in parchment paper and keep in a reusable zip-lock bag or container for quick and easy accessibility. They do have a tendency to stick to one another if you don’t wrap individually. You could also do a single layer of a few bars then place a piece of parchment paper between and layer again to prevent much sticking.
Notes: For variations, add cacao powder, carob powder, mesquite powder, cinnamon, candied ginger, orange juice and zest, acai powder, greens powders, cacao nibs, etc. The skies the limit! Play around and find your favorite blend!
