1 cup raw macadamia nuts
1 cup chopped dates
3/4 cup dried coconut
(about) 2 tbs of raw agave
salt
splash of vanilla extract
Grind the nuts and dates separately, combine into a bowl. Add the coconut, salt, vanilla extract. Add just enough agave so that when you are forming the balls that they retain their shape. This depends on how «wet» the nuts are after grinding.
This recipe makes about 20 bars.
Equipment needed:
Heavy Duty bender like Vita Mix or BlendTec and a food dehydrator with non-stick sheet.
Time:
· Prep: 15 minutes
· They dehydrate in about 24 hours – more if you want crunchier and less chewy.
Ingredients:
- 5 Large Organic Ripe Bananas
- 2 Cups Dried Coconut
- 1/3 Cup of Raw Organic Agave Syrup
- ½ Cup Coconut Water
- ¼ Cup Spirulina Powder
- 3 Cups Raw Sesame Seeds (I sprouted the sesame seeds, which adds a day to this process, but if you don’t have time to sprout, it’s just fine to use the raw sesame seeds as they come. Also, sprouted sesame seeds are a bit bitter. So if you prefer to have a purely sweet bar, don’t sprout the seeds.)
Steps:
1. Blend together all items, except the sesame seeds, in the Vita Mix.
2. Stir in the sesame seeds
3. Pour the mixture onto one dehydrator tray covered with a non-stick sheet.
4. Spread the mixture evenly on the tray to the edges. I use a knife to smooth the top. It will be about ½ inch think.
5. Put into dehydrator at temp. of 110 degrees.
6. After about 10-12 hours you can peel the semi-firm spirulina bar mixture off the non-stick tray and flip it over onto a dehydrator screen with no non-stick sheet.
7. At this point to make neater rectangular bars, you can score the mixture with a knife or pizza cutter into a grid to the size of bars you want. It’s more difficult to cut them once they are crunchy, but totally doable.
8. Put the tray back into the dehydrator for another 10-12 hours.
