Nutty Apricot Protein Squares

Whether it’s first thing in the morning, your usual mid-morning coffee break, after a workout, or mid-afternoon, we all long for that energy boost at some point during the day; so why not go for something with substance and that’s nutrient dense!

Nutty Apricot Protein Squares

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups raw almond meal/flour (I use the almond meal left over from the homemade almond milk that I make.  You could also finely grind your own almonds or use almond meal/flour from the store.)
  • 1/2 cup all natural peanut butter
  • 10 dried apricots
  • 1/3 cup chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup raw organic honey
  • 1/3 cup cacao nibs
  • 1/3 cup unsalted peanuts

Directions:

  1. Pulse all ingredients except the peanuts and cacao nibs in food processor until well blended.
  2. Add the peanuts and cacao nibs and pulse until broken down a bit but still chunky.  (These bars should have some crunch.)
  3. Place all ingredients in a 9x9in. brownie pan and place in freezer until hard.
  4. Cut into 16 squares and store in airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in freezer for much longer.

Enjoy!
