SUPER SEEDY GRANOLA BARS
Steps:
- Toast your oats and almonds in a 350-degree F (176 C) oven for 13-15 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
- Process dates in a food processor until small bits remain (about 1 minute). It should form a "dough" like consistency (mine rolled into a ball).
- Place oats, almonds and dates in a large mixing bowl. Add seeds and set aside.
- Warm agave and peanut or almond butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir and pour over oat mixture and then mix, breaking up the dates to disperse throughout. Use a spoon or your hands to thoroughly mix.
- Transfer to an 8×8 dish or other small pan lined with plastic wrap or parchment paper so they lift out easily. (Or use 2/3 of a 9×13 // as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size)
- Cover with parchment or plastic wrap and press down with something flat, such as a book, to get them really packed tight. This will help them from being crumbly. Chill in the fridge or freezer for 15-20 minutes to harden.
- Remove bars from dish and chop into 10 even bars (as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size). Store in an airtight container for up to a few days. I kept mine in the freezer to keep them extra fresh, but it isn't necessary.

SUPER FOOD PROTEIN BARS
The combination of crunchy toasted seeds, creamy nut butter, chewy millet and dates make this protein bar both energizing and satisfying. There's no need to turn on the oven, this bar sets up in the freezer and can be stored there for up to 3 months, meaning you'll always have a healthy snack on hand.

Steps:
- Line a 13-by-9-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl combine the millet, flax seeds, oats, coconut, hemp, chia and maca if using.

Add to the dry mix and mix until completely combined. Press evenly into the prepared tray and freeze until completely cold and firm, 2 hours.
- Remove and slice into 24 1-by-2-inch bars. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
UNCOOKED HEMP AND FLAX PROTEIN BARS
I improvised this, combining several recipes to accomidate the ingredients on hand, basically wanting something to do with a huge bag of hemp " powder I have. With the protein powder and the peanut butter figured into the nutritional info, the protein count is 4.8 grams and the calories are 143. Not a huge protein count, but hemp seed has other benefits: "Hempseed is considered by leading researchers and medical doctors to be one of the most nutritious food sources on the planet. Shelled hempseed is packed with 33 percent pure digestible protein and is rich in iron and vitamin E as well as omega-3 and GLA" (from the Nutiva website)
