Chewy Hemp Protein Bars

Chewy Hemp Seed Protein Bars

Hemp hearts–shelled hemp seed–are a wondrous thing. These tiny seeds are loaded with protein, fibre, and omega-3 fats among many other vitamins. They provide great texture and can be an added benefit to those seeking an added protein boost in their diet. I particularily love adding them to protein bars. Note in this recipe a used a plain vegan protein with no flavour or sweetener. The dates and optional liquid stevia provided all of the necessary sweetness.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 1/2 cups dates (blended into a paste)
  • 1/2 cup hemp seeds
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 2 scoops protein boost (I used Arbonne’s unflavoured/unsweetened protein powder)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp whole chia seeds
  • A few drops of liquid stevia (optional)
  • 3-5 heaping tbsp almond butter

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Blend the dates into a paste and place into a large bowl.
  2. Measure out all dry ingredients and add into the bowl with the dates.
  3. Scoop out 3 heaping tablespoons of almond butter (or nut/seed butter of choice) along with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and place and mix
  4. Add a few drops of liquid stevia and another 1-2 tablespoons of almond butter if needed. Continue to mix until a dough like ball is formed.
  5. Either pack the dough ball firmly into an 8×8 pan to cut into bars or form small bite sized protein balls (roughly 20 total).
  6. Chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours before cutting.
  7. Keep in the fridge for the week or wrap and freeze for later.
