Paleo Energy Bars
Either a tasty snack, or cut up and wrap in foil to use as an energy bar during exercise.
Ingredients:
- 2 bananas
- 250 grams ground almonds
- 200 grams raisins
- 100 grams apricots (you could use dates or other dried fruit)
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 50 grams desiccated coconut (optional)
- 1 beetroot (optional, for energy bar/endurance use, see notes below)
How To Make It:
Put all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Spread evenly into a tray and bake at 150 degrees centigrade for about 15 minutes. Allow to cool, then cut into individual bars. Store in an air-tight container.
Serving Suggestions:
Cut into small squares.
Notes:
Tip: I use a silicone tray as it makes it easier to remove the baked mixture.
These are great for a healthy snack, pre-training fuel or for wrapping up and taking with you on a long ride.
Beetroot
I sometimes add one beetroot to the mix when I'm going to be eating the cakes before and/or during races. This gives you the endurance benefits of beetroot with no noticable change in flavour, although it does make the cakes red!
