Homemade Energy Bars

1/13/2020

0 Comments

 
A client gave me this recipe years ago and I recently found it. She gave me a bunch of her "Energy Balls" as she used to call them and they were delicious. They are great for labor or nursing moms as a fast and delicious way to get some quick calories in you. They can be stored at room temperature for a few days, but will keep longer if stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
Ingredients:
2 cups cashews
1 cup medjool dates
1 teaspoon vanilla
pinch of sea salt
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

Preparation:
In a food processor, using the S blade, process cashews until finely ground. Add dates, vanilla and sea salt and process until combined. Next add sesame seeds and coconut as well as lemon zest. Combine until you create a dough like consistency. Roll into balls or press flat in a pan and refrigerate until firm.

This is my favorite salad, hands down, and even folks who refuse to eat green things love it!  

Dressing:
¼ c. Mayonaise
1 ½ Piece of ginger, minced
1-2 Garlic cloves ( I think I usually add more)
2 T Brown rice vinegar
2 T Tamari/Soy sauce
¼ c. Sesame oil
½ T. Chili flakes or fresh peppers (less if you don't like spicy)
Dash of Cumin
¼ bunch cilantro, chopped
Salt if needed
 
Blend all ingredients with a blender 
 
Kale (Iacinato Kale [Dinosaur Kale] is the best to use) - Finely Chopped 
Toss the Kale with the Dressing
Add:
            Carrots (slivered)
            Sunflower Seeds

Note: I've had this recipe for years and don't remember where I got it, but I did not make it up and am eternally grateful for whoever invented this deliciousness... so thank you.
