    Raw Recipe: Chocolate Acai Energy Bars

    BY SIMONE DURAND
    APRIL 26, 2013 7:13 AM EDT

    As the seasons change and we progress into summer, most of us naturally get more active. We go out for hikes, walk the trails, and the kids try out new sports.

    I like to be prepared when I’m on the go. The last thing I want to do is resort to a highly processed protein bar or pay $3 or $4 for a half-decent natural bar.

    So I make a big stack of these and I’m set for a week or two. Packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber and omega-3s, no store-bought bar will come close. Best of all, they’ll stay fresh in the fridge for weeks. Oh, and did I mention they’re nut free? Any of you with nut allergies can indulge in these too.

    Prep: 15min

    Servings: 18-20 medallions

    Ingredients:

    • ·        1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
    • ·        1/2 cup hemp seeds
    • ·        1/2 cup sesame seeds
    • ·        1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
    • ·        1 cup of pitted dates/prunes, soaked in a little water to soften if needed
    • ·        1/2 cup raisins (optional if you like it sweeter)
    • ·        1/4 cup extra virgin coconut oil
    • ·        1/4 cup raw cacao
    • ·        3 tbs acai powder
    • ·        1 tbs cinnamon
    • ·        pinch of Himalayan pink salt
    • ·        pinch vanilla powder or extract

    Instructions:

    In a food processor start by adding the seeds one after the other, pulse till coarse. Add coconut flakes and rest of the dry ingredients. Mix well

    Add the fruit and pulse till paste forms. It should be getting gooey now.

    Melt the coconut oil and slowly pour in while the food processor is running, followed by the vanilla extract. A ball will start to form.

    Scoop out on parchment paper and roll into a sausage shape. Wrap up and set in fridge for 30 minutes to harden. Cut into 1-inch slices.

    Store in an airtight container in the fridge. You can slice them as you need or pre-slice and store them individually wrapped in cling wrap for an on-the-go snack.

Cover pot; smoke cashews, adjusting heat as needed to maintain constant level of smoke, until golden brown, 10-15 minutes. Remove steamer from pot; let cashews cool.

    http://kriscarr.com/recipe/raw-protein-energy-balls/

    From the NY Times best selling author of Crazy Sexy Kitchen and the star of Crazy Sexy Cancer, which I would like to see about how she went from cancer to wellness through diet.  This is a whole site full of recipes, cooked and raw, but all vegan.

    This one isn’t actually raw, even though it’s in the title, but here it is. You could substitute raw oats and almond butter, cacao nibs, too.

    Raw Protein Energy Balls

    By Jessica Wyman

    Yield: 48 servings

    -2 cups rolled oats, thick
    -1 cup shredded coconut
    -1/2 cup pumpkin seeds, roughly chopped
    -1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
    -1/4 cup chia seeds
    -1 cup peanut butter
    -3/4 cup vegan chocolate chips
    -1 teaspoon vanilla
    -1 teaspoon cinnamon

    In a large mixing bowl, fold all ingredients together. Mix thoroughly. Using your hands grab some of the mixture and start rolling together in about one inch balls. Squeeze them firmly to help everything stick together. Place the rolled energy balls on a cookie sheet. I like to put them in the freezer to help them get firm.

    The peanut butter will start to dry out, so this needs to be done fast. It is helpful to have two people or consider doing a half batch, which really makes it more fun. I do such a large batch because once I make them they are gone pretty fast. The hubby and kids can’t seem to keep away.

    I’ve been adding almond meal to my chups and it’s INCREDIBLE. It’s closer to the hail mary now. Oh man. They’re so good.

    love you
    r

    Can i have your newest recipe? Please!!! -D

    R-

    Yeah. It’s really the same as what you do.

    It’s equal parts everything.
    1 c. raw cocoa
    1 c. raw softened coconut oil
    1 c. raw honey
    1 c. raw almond meal
    Dash of raw vanilla
    Himalayan sea salt to taste
    Just mix it in a bowl, putting it into silicon molds, freezing and eating.
    I’m going to make some more today. My friends Adam and Allie loved them so much they took the rest of mine home last night.
    Thanks for teaching me this stuff.
    I love you
    r

    OMG, I’m eating them right now and they are out of this world! At least as good – I think, better, than the Hail Merry’s.
    I made the chocolate without the almond meal, took half the chocolate and added it to the almond meal,
    then saved the other half to pour in the middle of each one., after freezing.
    So its got the almond meal crust and the chocolate center. Woweee!
    Thanks, R!
    I love you! i love Everyone!

    D- So my recipe went like this:

    Melt in a double boiler:

    1 c. raw cocao powder
    1 c. rawcoconut oil
    1 c. raw honey
    Dash of raw vanilla
    Himalayan sea salt to taste
    Peppermint extract/Stevia for half the batch
    When its all melted and stirred completely, take out half and mix it with the almond meal (1 1/4 c. almonds processed in the food processor until fine and crumbly). Press into 11 cupcake molds. Freeze 10 minutes or more.
    (I added a dash of Peppermint extract to half the batch.) Pour the rest of the melted chocolate over frozen chocolate almond meal crusts. Freeze again for
    10 minutes or more. Get ready to meditate. Close your eyes, put one in your mouth and get ready to say, “OMG!”

     Wasabi Peas – on youtube-

    Wasabi peas are all the rage these days. They are the perfect party snack, and can spice up most recipes. You can buy them almost anywhere that carry snacks and peanuts. But the store-bought paste carries lactose and artifiicial colors. Make your own, fresh and as hot as you like, by combining a tablespoonof horseradish with 1/8 tsp. turmeric and a dash of green powder! Clears your sinuses, fast!

    Pure wasabi, native to Japan, is a rare delicacy that can lose its flavor in under 15 minutes.

    Ingredients:)

    2 cups fresh peas [thawed frozen ones will do at a pinch]

    1 c. sprouted sunflower

    1 c. pumpkin seeds
    2 Tbsp olive or flax oil
    1/4 cup Wasabi paste made from turmeric, green powder and horseradish and a dash of psyllium seed powder
    1 T apple cider or rice vinegar
    1 tsp psyllium seed powder
    1 tsp water
    1/2 tsp mustard powder
    1/2 tsp garlic powder
    sea salt

    Instructions:

    In a large bowl, mix together the wasabi paste, rice vinegar, water and psyllium seed and spices. Add peas, nuts and seeds and coat well.
    Pour all onto the  dehydrator sheet for 24 hours at 105 degrees or until the peas are crisp and completely dry. Don’t let them go too long, or you can break a tooth on those crispy peas!
    Store in a sealed jar.

    Note:

    Nutrition

    As a member of the cruciferous family, wasabi contains the same cancer-fighting isothiocynates as its cabbage cousins. The American National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society have studied cruciferous vegetables extensively for years. They recommend that everyone eat several servings from this vegetable family each week to dramatically lower risk of all types of cancer. Researchers believe that one way the substances in cruciferous vegetables help prevent cancer is by helping the body eliminate excess hormones such as estrogen, thus reducing the risk of hormone-related cancers such as breast and prostate cancer.
