I often make a batch of these raw and gluten-free oat bars at the beginning of each week so I always have wholesome, guilt-free snacks to calm those mid-day hunger pangs.

Cashew Superfood Bar- vegan + paleo

Gather:

Do This: 

1. Mix everything except the philosophie superfoods in the food processor. If it's too wet, add a few spoonfuls cashew flour. If too dry, add 1-2 T water.

2. Mix again, adding all the Philosophie Superfoods (Green Dream, Berry Bliss + Cacao Magic) in food processor.

3. Press with fingertips into pan in parchment paper and place in fridge for 30 min or until tough. Remove from fridge and cut into bars or squares! 

 

 

The fresh texture is amazing:  supple and fine, but with crunch. You'll need to keep them refrigerated until you want to snack on them... you could bring them along as a snack but it will get crumbly after a few hours.
The taste is yummy with a sweet edge on a "wholesome" flavor.  But also nuanced-chocolatey.  There is a slight bitterness from the camu camu in the Berry Bliss Superfood blend and the goji berries and/or goldenberries.
(I love this flavor!  just so you know there's nothing wrong with the recipe if you taste the slight bitterness! You could omit the protein powder + just add honey or maple syrup so they aren't bitter at all if it bothers you.)

Cacao Magic + Green Dream Oat Bars

It's so nice to make your own bars + be prepared for the week ahead with snack ammo. These are slightly sweet with no added sugar. If you want to make them a wee bit sweeter you could add 2 tablespoons of agave or honey. yum!

{If you do more goji berries and add a tablespoon of Berry Bliss, this would be the perfect bar for valentines day! Use a heart cookie cutter to make them beautiful little hearts! Great gift for kiddos to give their friends since you could omit the cashews and they would be nut free/gluten-free!}

 

 

  • 1/4 C + 1 t coconut oil
  • 1 C [packed] Medjool dates, pits removed
  • 1 T vanilla extract 
  • 1 T green dream powder
  • 1 T cacao magic powder
  • 1 1/2 C gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1/2 C coconut flour
  • 1 handful raw cashews [optional]
  • 1/4 C coconut milk or any dairy-free milk
  • 3/4 t baking soda
  • 1/3 C hemp seeds
  • 1/2 t sea salt [i used pink Himalayan]
  • 1/4 C cacao nibs [optional]
  • 1/4 C goji berries [optional]

Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with 1 t coconut oil, or use parchment paper. 

In a small saucepan, melt the remaining coconut oil into a warm liquid. Pour the coconut oil into a food processor, add the dates, coconut milk, vanilla extract and Philosophie superfood powders [green dream + cacao magic]. Blend until a smooth paste ha formed, stopping the machine and scraping down the sides when needed. I added a handful of cashews at this point, it's completely optional + the bars will taste awesome without them!

In a large bowl, mix together oats, flour, baking soda, salt and hemp seeds. Stir in the date mixture and mix well. Fold in the cacao nibs and goji berries.

Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet with a spatula [or fingers, like me] forming it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the wet dough into about a dozen rectangles or desired shape. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges begin to turn golden brown and are cooked through. Let cool, then separate the rectangles and in-joy! 

 

Superfood Protein Bars

This recipe is for the most delicious and nutrient-dense protein bars you could ever make.

I've been getting kind of grossed out lately when I eat store bought protein/energy bars. The fact that most of those bars (even the most healthy ones) can sit on a shelf for over a year and not sprout an inch of mold concerns me. That I could save one of the boxes until I'm a grandma and feed it to my grandkids is just not cool. Don't get me wrong, they are GREAT to have on hand in emergencies and I definitely store them in my diaper bag and car, I would just PREFER to feed myself and my family something more fresh and handpick the ingredients myself.

These bars aren't very sweet, in fact, the only thing they are getting any sweetness from is the stevia in the whey protein I use. If you want them a tad sweeter, I would add a local, organic, raw honey from the farmers market. Honey would taste amazing in these!

Gather:

Combine: (in food processor)

  1. Take the oats, sunflower seeds, goji berries and pumpkin seeds and grind in the food processor until they form a powder/flour.
  2. add the green dream, berry bliss and vanilla whey protein powder. pulse a few times.
  3. add the cashew butter, coconut oil and optional honey and mix until combined.
  4. test the consistency. If it's too dry to from into a ball then add 1/2 T cashew butter and 1/2 T coconut oil and mix again. if it's too moist add 1/2 T whey protein powder. When desired consistency is reached, press the mixture into the pan and flatten. Put the dish, uncovered, into the fridge for 30-60 minutes. Remove from fridge, cut into bars. Cover individual bars in foil/wrap or put a couple into plastic baggies. I've been doubling this recipe and making on Sunday's to have for the week for the family. It's the perfect snack on the go! We've been eating it for breakfast with fresh fruit :)

Note: keep the bars in the fridge. Don't remove until just before you're going to eat them. They get really crumbly and melt when they aren't refrigerated!
