energy bar

Ingredients:

3/4 cup raw almonds

3/4 cup (about 11-12 large) pitted medjool dates

1/4 cup dried apricots

3 tbsp acai powder, such as Navitas Naturals

2 tbsp black raisins

1/2 tsp ginger powder

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

1 pinch of salt (optional)

Directions:

1. Mix all of the ingredients together in a food processor just until a sticky dough has formed (allow some almonds to remain coarsly chopped).

2. Spread a sheet of plastic wrap on a cutting board and place the dough on top. Using your hands, press and form a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Wrap and put in the freezer for 30 minutes, then cut into rectangles.

3. Serve cold or at room temperature. Makes 10 bars.
