Pumpkin Seed Protein Bars
➡️Ingredients:
• 1 Cup Pumpkin seeds
• ¼ Cup Sunflower seeds
• 160g (appx. 1½ cups) Medjool Dates *see notes for options
• 1 Scoop (34g) LeanFit Plant-Based Vanilla Protein Powder
• ½ Orange, freshly squeezed (Can use water or any other liquid)
➡️Method:
Line loaf pan with parchment paper. In food processor pulse together seeds and dates until little bits, add protein powder and orange juice and pulse together until firm enough to roll into a ball, add water or more orange juice if needed. Press mixture into prepared loaf pan and place in fridge to harden. Slice into bars. Yield 6- 8 bars.
*Note: If you don’t use medjool dates you may want to soak other dates in warm water for 30 minutes for better processing. I used 125g medjool dates and 35g cup dried apricots. Can sub any seeds/nuts.
