Chocolate Coconut Raw Food Energy Bars. ( an alternate to Brownies )  Print Friendly  Description: This is a perfect energy bar full of nuts, berries and seeds that will curb your hunger and look after any cravings. As it is full of nuts and seeds it is a great protein source and would be a good snack. Ingredients: 2 C pitted Dates 1/3 C agave nectar ½ C cashew butter 1 C ground almonds ½ C pumpkin seeds ½ C Hemp seeds ¼ C chia seeds ¼ C sesame seeds ½ dried Goji berries ½ C coconut 2/3 C organic chocolate chips or cocoa nibs. Directions: Mix all ingredients well in food processor. Spoon into 8 x 8 pan. ( I used a 9 x 13”) Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before cutting. Cut very small as they are filling, and individually wrap. It filled the food processor, so I ended up processing it in two batches. I added a bit of cocoa powder as well, used hazelnut butter instead of cashew, and added nearly ¼ C warm water to help it mix. Maybe try adding some cayenne? Yum. Could be rolled into balls.
