Ingredients
- 1/3 cup raw honey or rice syrup
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 3/4 cup carob powder
- 1/2 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 Tbsp spirulina
- 1 tsp maca powder or ashwagandha powder
- 1/2 tsp pink rock salt or gray sea salt
- 1/2 cup hemp seeds
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1) Blend honey and tahini in a food processor until smooth, then add carob, one tablespoon at a time, until mixture becomes stiff and has a smooth consistency (you may need to scrape down the sides a few times for desired effect).
2) Add vanilla, spirulina, maca powder, and salt. Pulse to combine.
3) Transfer to a large mixing bowl and stir in hemp and sunflower seeds. Roll out the mixture evenly to a 1/2-inch thickness and place on a parchment-lined cookie tray.
4) Sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top and press down with a cutting board to ensure they stick.
5) Cut into squares and cool in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving. Wrap squares individually and store in the fridge or freezer.
