By special request, I was asked to put this recipe up. I made these at Julian’s 100km fundraising event, and have also made it for my friends at work who test out my treats on a regular basis (which is one of the many things I love them for). This recipe was adapted from various other recipes, but I added a little power to it with the super foods :) It is really easy to make and if you don’t have any of the super foods, they are totally optional. However, I do recommend spending the extra money on at least a couple super foods since putting them in makes it a fuel packed pre-workout snack or a healthier treat for kids (and adults) vs. the processed crap desserts. Happy food processing!

1 cup chopped dates (i use medjool)

4 tbs goji berries
2 tbs hemp seed

- Transfer mixture into a separate bowl. Add in chocolate chips and mix with hands.
- Press dough into parchment lined pan into ½ inch thickness. It may not reach the edges, but that is totally fine.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes in the freezer before cutting. Store in freezer (because it tastes way better cold).
