This homemade energy bar is adapted from the one and only Mary, The Paleo Chef. Each delicious bite is filled with naturally performance-boosting ingredients to power you through your day. The addition of l-glutamine is especially beneficial for muscle recovery post-workout. These are very nutty and a bit dense, so I recommend drinking some water alongside it.
How To MakeDiet Type: Plant-based
Shopping List
-
Bars
- 2 cups gluten-free oats
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons mixed nut or seed butters of choice (Note 1)
- 33333333/100000000 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 3 scoops plant-based protein powder
- 1/2 cup dried mulberries
- 1/2 cup goji berries
- 6 pitted medjool dates
- 4 brazil nuts
- 4 teaspoons l-glutamine powder
- 4 teaspoons camu-camu powder
- 2 teaspoons maca
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt Topping (optional)
- 1/4 cup plant-based white or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Step 1: Add all ingredients to a high-powered food processor and blend until a dense dough/paste is formed. If it is not blending well, try separating it into batches.
- Step 2: Line 1 (8 inch x 8 inch) pan or 2 (8 inch x 4 inch) bread pans with parchment paper. Press the blended bars firmly into the pan(s). Refrigerate or freeze until hardened.
- Step 3: Slice into small bars. Keep in mind these are pretty dense, so a small serving is sufficient. To make the optional topping, melt the chocolate until runny and then drizzle the tops of the bars with the chocolate. Refrigerate or freeze until hardened.
- Serve: I recommend freezing these bars and pulling on out of the freezer 5 to 10 minutes before eating. Enjoy.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: We like to use a combination of 1/2 cup sunflower butter + 6 tablespoons smooth almond butter + 1/4 cup tahini. The combination of tahini and sunflower butter adds a nice hint of bitterness, but feel free to use whatever combination you prefer.
