Saturday we ventured to the farmer's market with Jerry's son. It was so much fun. I love seeing all the vendors, the creativity, the fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers and the buzz of it all. By the afternoon I was fully loaded and inspired!
I was making a crust for a new dessert and my food processor stopped on me. I thought c'mon just a little more, but when I looked down, I noticed it was just the right consistency and I finally created the perfect bar! YES! I've been trying to create the ultimate whole-foods protein bar that is healthy and delicious and I just so happened to stumble upon it, love at last.
I decided to set the dessert aside and take advantage of the moment. I pressed them into shape, had a few bites to "taste" and went to heaven! I froze the balance and they were even better frozen!
Ingredients:
Directions:
- 1/4 cup raw cashews
- 1/4 cup raw almonds
- 2 tbsp flax seeds
- 1/2 cup dried pitted dates
- 1/2 cup jumbo raisins

- 1-2 tbsp filtered water
Directions:

- Mix, push down the sides to mix thoroughly until well combined and desired consistency
- Shape into bars

Have fun with it! Use your favorite nuts, seeds and dried fruits! I can't wait to make more. Mine are already gone and I'm itching to make my next batch!
