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.

Wellness Tip

Exercising in Cold Weather Dressing in layers helps your body hold its heat and prevents the retention of perspiration on your skin. Try these tips to get the most out of the layering: 1. Wear a thin layer of synthetic microfibers such as polypropylene closest to your skin. Synthetics tend to wick sweat away; 2. The next layer is for insulation. A front zipper will allow easy release of extra heat and perspiration; and 3. The top layer should be windproof and waterproof. In extremely cold weather, an extra layer of microfibers or goose down inside the shell traps even more heat.
