Nut Bars
These are my favourite go to snack, which I keep in the freezer. Full of protein, fibre and good fat. You can make them without dried fruit to make them less sweet.

Ingredients
1 cup almonds
1 cup cashews
1 cup walnuts
½ cup almond meal
½ cup shredded coconut
½ cup coconut oil
½ cup almond butter
¼ cup honey
½ tsp vanilla powder or extract
¼ tsp sea salt
1 cup dried cranberries/blueberries/raisins or goji berries (a mix is nice) - Optional
Methods
Soak the nuts in purified water overnight, rinse and dehydrate in the oven at 150°C for 3-4 hours until crispy.
Place the nuts in a food processor and roughly chop until coarse consistency.
Place nuts in a large bowl with almond meal and shredded coconut.
Melt the coconut oil and almond butter until liquid. Add honey, vanilla & salt and poor over the nuts.
Add in the dried fruit and mix well.
Spoon the mixture into a baking tray lined with baking paper. Smooth out and press down hard to make it compact. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Once set, cut in to even sized bars. Keep refrigerated.
