  • Equipment: Food processor or high-speed blender, bowl, spoon, and spatula.
  • Time: 30 minutes to 1hr.
  • Serves 12

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate-flavored hemp protein powder. Or substitute plain, unflavored hemp powder mixed with cocoa to taste
  • About 20 pitted Medjool dates or your favorite date
  • 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
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 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. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients.
  2. Blend batches of the ingredients in a high-speed blender or food processor until well combined. The mixture is very thick, so you will need to add water gradually at first (about 1/4 cup).
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the large mixing bowl. These should be mixed until they form a doughy/sticky consistency, with enough water added to create this effect.
  4. Gently massage the mixture with your hands until it forms a large ball.
  5. If the mixture becomes too wet, you can add more cocoa powder or hemp protein. If it gets too dry, try adding more coconut oil, dates or water. The desired texture is thick and chewy—sticky enough to hold together in a bar shape but not so sticky that it sticks to your teeth!
  6. In an 8 × 8 or 9 × 9 inch parchment-lined pan, spread the protein bar mixture evenly. Press down firmly on top with your hands and fingertips until it forms an even layer.
  7. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours.
  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 really enjoy this recipe. Good luck with making your bars and may God bless you all, Bobby

  • 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!
