Ingredients
- 1 cup medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 1/2 cup raw almonds
- 1 TBSP chia seeds
- 1/4 cup hemp seeds
- 1 TBSP Blue Majik or Spirulina powder
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 2 TBSP cacao nibs
- dash of cinnamon
Instructions
Add all ingredients to a food processor and pulse until well combined. Mixture should be sticky and dough-like.
Line a small baking dish with parchment paper and add dough, pressing down until mixture is even and flat. Smooth out with hands or back of spoon. Sprinkle additional coconut flakes on top.
Place dish in the freezer to set for one hour, then remove and cut into bars. Enjoy! Store at room temp in an airtight container.
Notes
Spirulina or Blue Majik is often expensive (but a little goes a looong way, so it lasts a while), but it’s not necessary for good health. Don’t wanna splurge? Replace with matcha powder, which is another go-to bar I make, just as delicious!
