Living Rawesome Day #177 Super Goji-Cacao-Maca-Bars pg. 44 everyday raw
January 18, 2010
It was a nice treat to be in the kitchen making stuff tonight. I studied most of the day and I really was tired of studying so making these bars made me forget about “Hormones” for a few minutes. The recipe actually took about 15 minutes. I was moving rather slow and eating the nuts as I went along. BIG MISTAKE. I am living proof that you can gain weight on raw food. One day I am praying that raw food will change my weight, but until then I will struggle with too many nuts that make me “NUTS”. That is one goal I have this year, to lose some weight and continue to eat raw food. I really do think that preparing it is really my downfall, because I know how to do it well. It’s kind of a love/hate relationship I have with the food. I am working on it though.
Bars Ingredients
almond crumbs (I used dehydrated nuts in a food processor)
cashew pieces
hemp seeds
golden flax
sea salt
vanilla
lemon zest (oh foo I forgot this)
agave (I used honey)
maca
cacao nibs
goji berries
sweet cacao sauce will be made tomorrow:) That goes on top.
I put all dry ingredients in a bowl first and mixed it up. Then I added the wet ingredients. I put parchment paper on a sheet pan and then placed all the nut mixture on the pan. The bars are in the dehydrator and will be cut tomorrow.
Means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek.
