Start your day with this high-energy plant-based snack bar by Food Impromptu. Not only is it good, but it’s healthy too! What I love most about this recipe is that it doesn’t involve baking. You have to try this – it is way better than the ones from the store. It’s natural and doesn’t have any processed ingredients.

- 1 cup of pumpkin seeds

Instructions:
Step 1:
Get a pan and place it over medium heat. Add the almonds and toast for about 2 minutes. Next, add the walnut and pumpkin seeds. Toast them for about 2 minutes more. Once toasted, immediately remove from heat and transfer to a heat-proof plate. Set aside and allow it to cool completely.
Step 2:
Add the dates and almond butter to your food processor and blend it well. Next, add the toasted nuts, goji berries, ground cinnamon, and salt. Blend it into a course mixture.
Step 3:
Grease a pan by brushing the sides and bottom with oil, then line it with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture to your prepared pan and press it into the bottom with a spoon. Be sure to press it firmly, especially the corners to prevent air gaps and crumbling while cutting. Smoothen the surface well.
Step 4:
Cover it with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 2 to 3 hours to allow it to set. Once set, remove it from the pan and slice it into your desired shape using a sharp knife. Be sure to clean the knife with a paper towel in between cuts.
Step 5:
After cutting them, wrap them individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper and store them in your refrigerator. You can store them in the fridge for about 3 to 4 weeks.
