I came up with this recipe a few years ago when I started to react to gluten and dairy and was unable to grab a 'protein bar' while I was on the go.
1/2 c coconut oil
1 cup almond butter
11/2 c carob chips or unsweetened carob chips (I couldn't find unsweetened carob chips so I substituted 1 cup of pure cocoa powder)
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
3-4 tablespoons of agave nectar (I didn't want to make them too sweet but you can add more to sweeten as needed).
On medium heat, melt coconut oil, almond butter and add cocoa. Stir in remaining ingredients.
Transfer ingredients to a 5x7 inch glass baking pan and press and spread.
Let cool then refrigerate and cut.
About Me
- Zoe
- Being fit for almost my entire life and spending most of it in the weight room and outside I decided to try something new in August 2010. It is called Crossfit! And boy has it changed me. I heart Crossfit and it will always be a BIG part of my life. I spend about 80% of my waking thoughts and actions on it because it has transformed my mind and body. I am also very passionate about nutrition, having studied and practiced it for over 10 years. Because of crossfit I have discovered a way to eat that has had an amazing impact on my life...and that is the Paleo Diet. I created this blog to help educate those about the paleo diet in hopes that I can help people make lifestyle changes one meal at a time!
