Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups Slivered Almonds (130g)
  • 3 cups Pitted Dates roughly chopped, lightly packed (440g)
  • 3/4 cup Grass-Fed Whey Chocolate Protein Powder
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder plus 2 tablespoons and more for dusting
  • 3 ounces Dark Chocolate roughly chopped
  • 3/4 cup Kale torn and firmly packed
  • 3/4 cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
  • 1 cup Blueberries fresh, not frozen (140g)
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil melted
  • 1/2 cup Pomegranate Seeds

Instructions
 

  • Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper, letting the parchment hang over the sides. Sprinkle evenly with a little bit of cocoa powder until the parchment in covered. Set aside
  • Place the almonds in a large processor and process until broken down. Place the dates in and continue processing until a crumbly mixture forms.
  • Add in the protein powder, cocoa powder and dark chocolate. Process until crumbly and broken down.
  • Add in the kale and coconut flakes and process until the kale turns into very small pieces.
  • Add in the fresh blueberries and process until the mixture darkens and starts clumping together. Finally drizzle In the coconut oil and process until the dough sticks together.
  • Pour the mixture into a bowl and gently stir in the pomegranate seeds. Turn the mixture into the prepared pan and press down with clean hands. It will be sticky.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars and DEVOUR.

Notes

  • If you can’t find pomegranate seeds, feel free to omit, or roughly chop your favorite kind of nuts and add them in.
  • Chilling the bars before cutting is KEY, or else they are very sticky. I recommend chilling them and then lifting them out of the pan, slicing them and then immediately placing into an air-tight container with parchment paper in between the layers. Store them in the refrigerator.
