RAW FOOD BAR
Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Ready in: 1 hour
Makes: 18 1/2″ x 1″ bars approximately
1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds (you can soak them ahead for better digestibility)
1/2 cup Garden of Life Organic Vegan Vanilla Protein
1/4 cup chia seed
1 cup coconut flakes
1/4 c coconut flour
1/2 cup Milled Ground Flax Seed
1 Tbsp dried gogi berries
1 cup dates
2 Tbsp Eco Ideas almond butter
1/2 c Eco Ideas Odorless coconut oil (melted)
2 Tbsp Blue Agave nectar<
Directions:
- Place all ingredients in a food processor. Pulse for 1/2 minute.
- Mix at high speed for 1-2 minutes until the mixture resembles the photo below.
- Press into a 8″x8″ glass dish. (I used a 10″ x 6″)
- Place in freezer for 15 minutes.
Chocolate Topping
1 tsp coconut oil
1 Endangered Species Dark Chocolate Bar
2 tsp dessicated coconut
- In a double boiler, combine the tsp of coconut oil and chocolate bar. Melt together until smooth.
- Remove from heat and pour over top of raw food bars after removing them from the freezer.
- Tilt the dish back and forth to cover the entire top of the raw food bars. This covers them very nicely.
- Sprinkle dessicated coconut over the top.
- Place back in freezer for 5 minutes until chocolate has set.
- Remove from freezer and cut up into squares.
- Store in refrigerator.
Tip: Use organic ingredients whenever possible.
Nutritional Note: These bars are rich in protein giving at least 4 grams of protein per piece. If you do not wish to use the chocoloate coating, you can certainly eat them plain. They are delicious either way!
