Power Bars
MAKES 20 TO 24 BALLS

These little bars pack a sizable protein punch for a quick energy boost.

1      cup almond butter (not chunky style)
1      cup amaranth flake cereal, half of it coarsely ground
¾     cup (4 ounces) soy protein powder
¼     cup flax meal (recipe below)
⅓    cup date sugar
1 ½  cups lightly toasted, unsweetened coconut

1. Combine almond butter, amaranth flakes, protein powder, flax meal and date sugar in bowl of a mixer. Use beater attachment to combine ingredients. If necessary, use your hands to work mixture into a ball.
2. Scoop small golf ball-size portions and form into small bars. Roll each in toasted coconut to coat.
3. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Store in an air-tight container in refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Egg-Free Solution
Can’t eat eggs? Try flax gel as a substitution for eggs in these snack bar recipes.
One flax gel recipe is equivalent to one egg. To cool mixture quickly, place it in the freezer.

Flax Gel
1    tablespoon ground flaxseed
¼   cup water

1. Mix ground flaxseed with water in a large microwave-safe container
2. Microwave on high until mixture bubbles and thickens slightly. Stir. Mixture should be the consistency of an egg white.
