Megan’s Comments:
These guys are the perfect nut bar. Full of protein and chocolate that will boost your metabolism. So easy to make, and perfect to keep in the fridge for a snack, dessert, or part of any meal! These will satisfy all sugar cravings, and take away your desires for not so healthy sugar filled snacks lurking around.
Perfect finger food. Awesome to make with and for kids. Here we have raw honey full of enzymes, coconut oil to balance hormones and fuel the brain, nuts and seeds full of minerals, prebiotic fiber, and protein to fuel your body and support healthy skin, and antioxidant rich cinnamon to boost your immune system and kill bad bacteria in the body.
Few notes:
- Add more/less honey depending on how sweet you like it.
- Use any combination of any nuts/seeds you like.
- You can add less nuts of you want more of a chocolate bar with a few nuts.
- Add more coconut oil or a tad bit of water or coconut milk if you need more liquid to fill the size of pan you are using.
Dr Jockers Comments:
This is a great snack for kids to bring to school or as an after school snack. I have so many parents asking me what their kids should eat at school. The typical sandwich and chips are obviously not going to benefit their health. This recipe will!
Coconut oil is such an amazing superfood that enhances our metabolism, improves brain function and hormones. Getting lots of coconut oil into our diet and our children’s diets should be a high nutritional priority.
Combining that with the essential fats, zinc, magnesium and B vitamins found in the walnuts, almonds, sunflower and pumpkin seeds and you have a great nutritionally dense, energy boosting bar.
You and the family will love this one!
