Chocolate Chia Energy Bars image

These bars are truly delicious and healthy. I even shared them with my non-health nut friends and they thought they were great. Perfect for when you have a sweet tooth but don't want to go crazy. I got this great recipe from Vegetarian Times.

Time 12h

Yield 8 bars, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups pitted dates
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I didn't have cocoa powder so I actually chopped up 1/4 cup of a dark chocolate bar, came out great)

1 cup slivered almonds, raw

Steps:

  • Place dates in a food processor; puree until it forms a thick paste.
  • Add cocoa powder, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. Pulse until all ingredients are combined.
