ENERGY BARS

Tired of processed food and looking for a quick fix?  

Most energy bars are loaded with simple sugars and additives so why not make your own?

The following recipes are quick, easy and fun to make.  All you need is a food processor.

POWER BAR  I

7 prunes

6 medjool dates

1/8 cup goji berries

1/8 cup sunflower seeds

1 Tbsp walnuts

POWER BAR  II

1/4 cup 7 grain cereal

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp cardamom

1/8 cup goji berries

1/8 cup slivered almonds

1/8 cup pumpkin seeds

1 tsp cocoa powder

1 tsp agave syrup

To make either power bar:

Combine the  ingredients in a food processor and chop until mixed and the contents clump.

With damp hands mold the paste into balls or press and flatten the mix in a baking dish, then cut into squares.

Wrap the power bars in a sealed container and refrigerate.
