I tried to recreate the energy chunks you find in YES! Organic Market or Whole Foods. Each time the result has been slightly different, but I was able to capture the ratios for this one. I think they came out pretty good and were worth sharing. I like to eat these as a snack, on-the-go or during the afternoon just when my energy plummets. The sunflower seeds are a natural energy boost and will bring you back to life!
Ingredients
- 3 dates, chopped
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1-2 tsp agave
- pinch of salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup carob chips
Instructions
Combine the almonds and dates and grind until a powder forms (be careful not to over grind because they almond will begin to turn to a butter, which you do not want!).
Add the remaining ingredients and grind until the batter forms a soft ball.
Form into 1-inch balls or press into a brownie tray and place into the fridge. When cool, cut into squares or whatever you like.
mangia!
