Okay, here's the quick backstory this snack bar. I got tired of seeing little energy balls, etc. in the form of chocolate, or something chocolate based, or maybe with almond butter, etc etc etc. 

I needed to make something that was more not chocolate. So, here we go. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have! 

Ingredients: 

• 1.5 cups quick oats
• 1.5 cups brown rice cereal 
• 1/4 cup hemp seed
• 1/2 cup chia seeds
• 1/4 cup coconut sugar 
• 10 figs + 4 tbsp water 
• 4 tbsp honey 
• 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries (powdered) 
• 3/4 cup freeze-dried raspberries (powdered) 
• 3 tbsp pomegranate molasses 
• Optional Toppings: coconut, chocolate, more strawberry/raspberry, pomegranate molasses for topping 

Directions: 

1. Soak the figs and then pulse after 15 minutes until it is a smooth paste. 
   
2. Throw everything into a bowl and mix it all together. You want to make sure that the mixture can stick together. Feel free to adjust the molasses/honey until this happens. 
   
3. Line a baking dish with parchment paper. Press the mixture into the dish. Throw on the optional toppings. 
   
4. Let it sit over night to form. You can also put this in the fridge to let it set quicker. 
   
5. Cut into whatever size/shape you want. 
   
6. Eat them all up!

​Happy snacking! 

The perfect way to transition into the Spring is starting to build in your veggies. Vegetables, especially cruciferous and leafy greens are the perfect way to start getting that lymph moving and grooving after the build up of the wet and sticky cold qualities from the Winter. 

The tricky thing with this, is we are not quite in the place where we can eat raw salads. Raw food is tough to digest, and until the summer time, it's best to stay away from them.

So, what's our Ayurvedic solution? Well, we slightly cook the veggies to get them ready for digestion. By sautéing the veggies we start to break down some of the dry and rough qualities which helps the veggies to digest better. 

We also incorporate a ton of healthy fats and spices to further the digestion! So, here's the perfect cooked salad to get you ready for warmer weather, while also being tasty, flavorful, and perfect for this transitional season!
