Energy Bar/ Post Workout recovery meal

This is my second try at making these bars, I had to make some changes, this time it worked.  The green color is from the Spirulina but you can't taste it.  If you bought these in the store they would be between $2.00 to $3.00, I made for under .50 cents and they were easy and loaded with amazing nutrition!

Energy Bars

(Modified from Thrive Nutrition by Brendan Brazier)

½ C Almonds, soaked overnight, drained and chopped coarsely (I pulsed in Vita-Mix)

¼ C Sprouted Buckwheat

¼ C Sprouted Amaranth (Could also use Sprouted Quinoa)

2 C Rolled Oats 

½ C Dates, soaked 15 minutes, strain water and save

¼ C Hemp seed

¼ C Ground Flax seed

1 t Dulse

1 T Spirulina

1 Apple

1 heaping T Cinnamon

Chop Apple in sections and blend in mixer with dates, 1 T date juice, Spirulina and Cinnamon.  Mix all other ingredients in large bowl, add apple mixture, stir well.  Spread on baking sheet with wax paper.  Place in 200 * oven for 10 min, turn over for another 10 min.  Let cool.  I wrap individually in saran wrap and keep in fridge to grab for after workout recovery.
