These energy bars are seriously delicious and will definitely give you lots of energy. They are the perfect snack for when you are on the go. They are free of refined sugars and are filled with delicious superfoods like maca, goji berries and raw cocoa nibs which have a high content of antioxidants and nutrients.
I actually came up with the idea for making these bars when I was preparing the Vegan Chocolate Ganache Pie. I had made way too much of the no-bake fig crust. I did not want to make a second pie and I did not want to waste any of this goodness, so I decided to add more ingredients to the base to make a nutritious energy bar. The result is great, I love these and I hope you love them too!
