Raw Sesame Coconut Bars

April 27, 2015 by Sarah

Raw Sesame Coconut Bars

I did a raw food presentation at the Awake and Empowered Expo in Troy, MI this past weekend and promised this recipe so here it is! 🙂

The food processor comes to the rescue again; I think it’s one of my favorite appliances in the kitchen! Here is another great use for it: raw energy bars. Perfect for you to make ahead of time and take with you when you’re in a pinch. I’ve been on a little bit of a sesame seed kick lately – make sure you check out this Homemade Sesame Ginger Dressing – but these bars just hit the spot for me! These are wholesome and crazy YUM, which is all you need, right?!

Sesame seeds should not be overlooked; they are one of the oldest oilseeds known to us. They not only provide a good amount of protein and fiber, but they also may aid in reducing blood pressure and anxiety (because of the magnesium), lowering cholesterol (because of the phytosterols), producing collagen (because of the zinc), strengthening bones (because of the calcium), and relieving arthritis (because of the copper).

Raw Apple Chips

Raw Apple Chips

Raw Apple Chips

Trying to help you re-think snacking over here. Just like with these ‘Best Ever Cheesy Kale Chips‘, snack solutions like these are dynamite.

The other night, my mom and I had a food prep night; we spent some time in the kitchen preparing foods that would be enjoyed throughout the week.

We made two big batches of different soups made with veggies from our FarmBox, raw apple chips, raw exotic (beet, parsnip, sweet potato) chips, and apricot almond chia pudding. Food prep nights make it possible to eat clean, delicious meals throughout the week as they bail you out of those in-a-pinch kind of days. Imagine how nice it is not to have to make dinner and just warm up a homemade soup. Or have breakfast made for two mornings in a row. Or wholesome snacks right at your fingertips.

It’s perty nice. You should try it.

To make this crunchy raw treat, all you need to do is slice the apples thinly (I used the food processor-total time saver), flavor them up with lemon and spices, and then place them in the dehydrator.

If you do not have a dehydrator, do not fret for a minute; baked apple chips are still certainly a heck of a lot better than Lay’s! You can bake the apples at 200°F for an hour on each side. I read that you can leave them in the oven after you turn it off to help them get a little extra crunchy.

Because it is necessary to crunch on these chips loud and proud. 😉
