Raw Superfood Granola Bars

Hemp seeds are a “must eat” on our list of foods. We’ll admit, the list of healthy things we keep adding to our daily “must eat” list is getting a bit out of hand—between the vegetables, flaxseeds, raw vegetable juices, fermented foods, etc. our stomach barely has room to fit it all in. Knowing the health benefits of hemp seeds (especially for plant-based athletes) we are finding creative ways to get our daily hemp fix. We think of hemp seeds almost as a “superfood” because they have a tremendous nutritional profile so granola bars are great for nutrition and you can make these at your home similar to the ones you find at a Vending machine Newcastle which sometimes have different type of snacks including these type of bars. Look at just a few of the benefits

And here it is….vegan, raw, tasty, and oh-so-delicious, these bars are top-notch for satisfying your hunger.
