Major Nutritional Information:
  • Coconut meat contains large amounts of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), which are easier for the human body to digest than most other types of fat. These MCFAs have been shown to improve endurance in athletes who eat them regularly.
  • The MCFAs in coconut meat also have antimicrobial properties. And research suggests that eating more fat may enhance weight loss by helping you feel fuller longer and boosting metabolism—so it’s possible Coconut Oil could help you lose weight!
  • Medjool dates are high in calories but full of nutrients and antioxidants that may boost digestion, lower cholesterol levels, and help prevent heart disease. They also contain fiber—up to 9 grams per date! Medjool dates are also high in fiber, which helps lower cholesterol levels, reduce constipation, and prevent colon cancer. They contain many vitamins and minerals as well—for example, they are a good source of folate (a B vitamin) as well as calcium, iron, potassium, and magnesium.
  • Fresh living alfalfa sprouts are an excellent source of vitamin C, providing nearly 15% of your daily requirement in a single serving. The Vitamin C content stimulates the production of white blood cells and can protect against infections and inflammation. Alfalfa sprouts are also an excellent source of vitamin K, providing nearly 37% of your daily requirement in a single serving. Vitamin K is important for blood clotting, and it also helps to maintain bone health.
A Note To Myself:

Father, thank you for letting me be of service to others. Also, thank you for forgiving me my transgressions. I have not always been the best of children or the most obedient of servants. I have strayed from the path, You ordained for me and wandered into a wilderness of sin and darkness. Yet deep in my soul, I know your loving heart makes a way for me. I can speak for no other man but for me; I trust in Christ and believe I am reborn and presented blameless to You, and that is why I say your name throughout the day in my spirit, for I am forever grateful. Thank You, thank you, thank you.

Thou art ever merciful Father God. If I could murmur Thy name repeatedly in my last moments in this mortal coil, how canst Thou refuse me entrance into eternity and to be with you in Thy heavenly abode?

Equipment: Food processor or high-speed blender, bowl, spoon, and spatula.

Time: 45 minutes to 1hr.

Serves 12

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups hemp protein powder, chocolate flavor (or original powder just add cocoa)
  • 1 1/2-2 cups dates, about 20 pitted
  • 1/2 cup dried, cherries, pulse in a food processor
  • 1/4 cup dried blackberries or your favorite berry, pulse in a food processor
  • 1/2 cup hemp hearts, shelled
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, ground into a coarse flour
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds, pulse in a food processor
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds, ground
  • 2 tablespoons cacao nibs (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons spirulina powder
  • 2 tablespoons of maca powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan sea salt
  • Tsp of ground cinnamon
  • 5 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 1 heaping tablespoon of almond butter
  • 1/2 cup water (start with 1/4 and add gradually)
  • 1 Tbs vanilla extract

Directions:

  1. Place all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl and combine
  2. Blend batches of the ingredients in a high-speed blender or food processor. This mixture is very thick and sticky so you’ll need a powerful kitchen appliance or mix in small batches. Start with 1/4 cup of water in this mixture.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into the large mixing bowl. This is where you can adjust the water and pay close attention to how much you use. Must have a doughy/sticky consistency.
  4. Using your hands (the best tools for this!), massage and combine the mixture until everything has come together to form a large ball.
  5. If the mixture gets too wet, simply add more cocoa or hemp protein powder. If the mixture isn’t wet enough, try adding more coconut oil, a few more dates, or water. The desired texture is thick. You are making a chewy, sticky bar.
  6. In an 8×8 or 9×9 inch parchment lined pan, evenly spread the protein bar mixture into the pan. Using your hands and fingertips firmly press the mixture into an even layer until it’s even and smooth on top.
  7. Chill for at least 2 hours in the fridge.
  8. Cut into small pieces or 12 whole bars.
  9. Keep some for later in the freezer by wrapping individually in clear wrap or keep in the fridge for later use that week.
  10. Enjoy!

I love this recipe. We have a recipe that is very similar, except it incorporates living foods. I will post it soon. Blessings, Bobby
