Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds
- ½ cup sunflower seeds
- ½ cup flax meal (ground flax seeds)
- ½ cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
-
2 Tbsp. Navitas Organics Chia Seeds
-
2 Tbsp. Navitas Organics Maca Powder

- ⅓ cup almond butter
- ½ tsp. sea salt, to taste
Directions

- Blend almonds in high-speed blender (or food processor) until they reach a coarse texture, then add them to the bowl.
- In a saucepan over low heat, combine almond butter, coconut oil and maple syrup, and stir until well combined.
- Add your wet ingredient mixture to the dry ingredient mixture and stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until well combined. Texture will be a bit sticky!
- Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment and trim the edges to fit.
- Spread mixture evenly into your pan and pack it down tightly.
- Place pan in the fridge to set, at least 1 hour.
- After the mixture has set, cut bars into desired shape and store in the fridge!
