NUT AND SEED ENERGY BARS RECIPE

With the summer season around the corner and big waves ahead, nothing kick starts our morning for a sunrise surf session like these are energy bars. These bars fuel your body with natural sugar that puts a little extra pep in your step!

 

Ingredients: 

  • ½ cup almonds
  • ½ cup brazil nuts
  • ½ cup cashews
  • ¼ cup sesame seeds
  • ¼ cup pepitas
  • ¼ cup hemp seeds
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate
  • 1 cup dates
  • ¼ cup almond milk

Directions:

    1. Deseed the dates and soak in warm water for 20mins.
    2. Using a food processor or blender, blitz the nuts so they’re roughly chopped, empty into a mixing bowl.
    3. Add seeds to the nut mix.
    4. Roughly chop the dark chocolate, add to mix. Stir to combine.
    5. Blend dates and almond milk to form a caramel paste.
    6. Pour onto seed mix and mix with a spoon until all combined.
    7. Press into a lined slice tin. Set in the fridge for two hours or overnight to set.
    8. Slice into mini bars and enjoy.

    Tips:

    • This slice is raw, so it is soft and sticky, not hard like store bought muesli bars.
    • Wrap your serves in some baking paper and pack in a lunchbox to enjoy at work.
    • Break up and mix with some yogurt as breakfast option.
