These bars are a great pick me up snack. Add what ever you favorite protein powder is, mine is VEGA. Feel free to change up the seeds and nuts to suit your needs and taste. These wont last long, so if you have a hungry house ( I do) make a double batch.I am very lucky to have an awesome Robot Coupe professional food processor with a very large bowl, so I can do a large batch. If you have a smaller machine, blend the first set of ingredients and set aside, mix the next and process together in small batch and hand mix in the cranberries and chipsCombine in a large food processor.
1 cup raw almonds (or your favorite nut)
1 cup ground almonds
1 cup oats or rolled quinoa
1 cup nut butter
½ cup protein powder ½ dates soaked in hot water and drained
½ cup raw agave
Blend above ingredients until they hold together, mixture will be wet.
Add
¼ cup pumpkin seeds
¼ cup sesame seeds
¼ flax seeds
¼ sunflower seeds
¼ cup chia seeds
¼ cup coco
Process the mixture until it hold together well, adding more butter or agave if need
Add
½ cup cranberries
½ chocolate chips
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, use you hand to push the mixture down and in to the corners. Using a rolling pin, roll to flatten, press very hard as this will help the bars keep there shape. Place pan in freezer for about half an hour, remove, cut in to bars and keep refrigerated.
