superfood bars

We’re big snackers, so you’ll always find us with something stashed in our bags. We created these bars in response to many people’s daily reliance on store-bought granola or protein bars. We wanted a bar that was less sweet, packed with more nutrients, and ... wait for it ... a little savory. These are the perfect take-along treat and great for the kids’ lunches, so stock up for a quick and easy snack you can feel good about!

¾ cup raw almonds, divided

½ cup raw cashews

4 large Medjool dates, pitted

½ tsp ground cinnamon

1 tbsp cacao powder

2 tbsp melted cacao butter

1–2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp chia seeds

2 tbsp hemp seeds

2 tbsp goji berries

¼ cup lightly crumbled store-bought kale chips (plain or sea salt flavor) or homemade kale chips

1   Line an 8 × 8-inch cake pan or baking dish with parchment paper. In a food processor, combine ½ cup raw almonds, cashews, dates, cinnamon, cacao powder, and cacao butter. Pulse until combined. Add the oil 1 tablespoon at a time until the mixture comes together when you squeeze it in your hand.

2   Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl, and add the remaining ¼ cup almonds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, goji berries, and kale chips, stirring to combine.

3   Press the mixture into the prepared pan, and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until firm. Cut into 6 bars, and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
