Hi Guys!

As promised via my Instagram account @Rawspirations , here is the recipe to these healthy Raw Vegan Chocolate Energy Bars and a simple tutorial to demonstrate a few techniques. I'll eventually get a proper set up so I can talk to you and give step by step guides!

These bars are my fav, and husbands too. I love them because of their nutritional value! They are packed with healthy fats, proteins, nutrients, vitamins and minerals such as vitamin E, Iron, magnesium, zinc, selenium, folate, just to name a few of the health benefits! I consider these babies to be a great little treat to keep stored in the freezer for when your having mid day cravings or need a boost in energy! Kids love them too!
