Ingredients
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 cups slivered almonds
- 3 cups pitted dates roughly chopped
- 3/4 cup whey chocolate protein powder
- 3 ounces dark chocolate roughly chopped
- 3/4 cup kale torn and firmly packed
- 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
Instructions
- Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, letting the parchment hang over the sides. Sprinkle evenly with about 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder until the parchment is covered. Set aside.
- Place the almonds in a food processor and blend until broken down. Place the dates in the food processor and continue processing until a crumbly mixture forms.
- Add in the protein powder, the rest of the cocoa powder, and dark chocolate. Process until crumbly and broken down.
- Add in the kale and coconut flakes and process until the kale turns into very small pieces.
- Add in the fresh blueberries and process until the mixture darkens and starts clumping together. Finally, drizzle in the coconut oil and process until the dough sticks together.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl and gently stir in the pomegranate seeds. Turn the mixture into the prepared pan and press down with clean hands. (It will be sticky.)
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars. Serve and enjoy!
