Energy Booster Bar
|
To add some to your shopping cart: |
This is my cheapest bar for those wanting a healthy snack on a tight budget. It has 17 healthy ingredients (chick pea flour, honey, tahini, coconut, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut oil, dried apricots, cashews, peanuts, raisins, maca powder, sultanas, macadamia nuts, cacao powder, cinnamon and nutmeg). It has a fairly simple, sweet and nutty flavour.
I add no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. Many people report it gives a fairly instant and lasting kick in the energy department. The recipe is very close to the original recipe I created for my daughter Cadienne. A few people said the first recipe was too sweet so I replaced half the honey with tahini (ground sesame seeds) to reduce the sweetness. I also added some chick pea flour and coconut butter to help bind the other ingredients. The inclusion of the chick pea flour and tahini also had the benefit of increasing the protein content.
Each bar is at least 56 grams. Buying 20 at a time makes each bar $3.00. I know, a lot more expensive than a $1.00 muesli bar you can get in the supermarket, but on the other hand there’s a lot more in it than oats and sugar!
