Ingredients

  • 2 cups lightly packed, soft pitted dates (350 g)
  • 1/2 cup tahini (120 g)
  • 1/2 cup Vega Performance Protein Chocolate or Vanilla (50 g)
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder (24 g)
  • 1 cup hemp seeds (160 g)
  • 3/4 tsp sea salt
  • 2 1/2 tbsp almond milk or water

Directions

  1. Add everything to a food processor and mix until it forms a thick dough. It will take a little bit but it should form into one big dough ball, once it’s does, it’s ready to go.
  2. Press the dough (you may need to use wet hands, it can be sticky) into a parchment paper, wax paper or saran wrap-lined square baking pan. Take a few moments to press it down into the corners and work it all together. It will be a little sticky and messy.
  3. Place in the freezer for 4 hours up to overnight to set.
  4. Lift the bars out of the pan and cut into 14 bars.
  5. Store the bars in the freezer for up to 3 months. I love them straight from the freezer for the best fudgy consistency. They won’t freeze solid and they’re so good this way!
