Mana Bars

Mana is the Hawaiian word for “power.” I find mana in my life from my faith and self-confidence. My faith gives me assurance to face anything that life throws at me. When I’m feeling confident in that, I have a lot of mana to take on the day.

 

This nut, seed, chocolate energy bar is one of me and Adam’s go-to homemade snacks. We often bring it to potlucks or family dinners as a dessert!

 

You will need a food processor and the following ingredients:

 

2 cups raw almonds

1/2 cup ground flaxseeds

1/2 cup currants, dates, and raisins

1/2 cup shredded coconut

1/2 cup unsalted almond butter

3 TBS honey

2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup melted coconut oil

1/2 tsp sea salt

Pour and press down into 8×16 inch pan

 

4 oz dark chocolate

 

Melt on double boiler

Pour into pan and spread over the nut and seed mixture.

 

Refrigerate for 30 mins. This can also be frozen in a freezer safe container.

 

Cut into squares, serve and enjoy!!
