Delicious Goji Berry Slice

I did mention in my last post that I would include a Goji Berry Slice recipe that I'm sure the whole family will enjoy!  So here it is:

A sweet treat :)

Goji Berry Slice

(Makes 24 small pieces.)

Ingredients:

2 cups nuts (almonds, walnuts, macadamias, etc)

1/4 cup cacao powder

1/4 cup carob powder

10 dates destoned

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp ground cloves

1 tbsp coconut oil

1/2 cup goji berries

Add either 2-3 drops peppermint essential oil or grated rind of 1 orange.

Optional: 2 tbsp chia seeds (if harder slice is desired).

Method:

Process nuts until smooth.  

Add the rest of the ingredients & process.

If coconut oil is solid, place in bowl & place in another bowl of just boiled water to melt.  When all is blended, stir in 1/2 cup goji berries.

Press into pie plate. 

Refrigerate before cutting.

Add 2 tablespoons chia seed if harder slice desired.  

This is a high energy, high protein sweet.  A friend of mine recently used it for a 24 hour race.  This slice also stores really well in the freezer, so make a double batch and freeze some for later.
