Completely without meaning to I’ve gone nearly a month without posting a recipe. There’s been a lot going on and lot of thoughts about what I’m doing with this blog crowding my head, as well as some little health struggles—but more on that in another post.
Today I want to introduce you to an amazing company! You may have heard of Sun Potion before, but if not you should definitely take a moment to check out their site. I’m a huge lover of plants and all things related to the natural world, so I instantly fell in love with Sun Potion and their passion for medicinal plants and herbs. Mother Nature holds such incredible healing for us and the people and Sun Potion work hard to create amazing products.
They graciously sent me two of their products to try out and play around with in my recipes. The bars I’m sharing with you today are packed full of delicious flavors and good-for-you foods. I’ve been on a bit of a hemp seed kick lately and I’m forever in love with coconut, so those two star as the main ingredients. With a little bit of honey, some lemon and fresh ginger these are filled with bright, radiant spring flavors.
Lemon Hemp Bars
Makes 8 bars
1 cup hemp hearts
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 tbsp. soft coconut oil
1 tbsp. chia seeds
½ tbsp. raw honey (or maple syrup, if vegan)
½ inch piece ginger
Zest of ½ lemon
¼ cup berries, optional (for color)
1 tbsp. Sun Potion Tocos, optional
1 tsp. Sun Potion Reishi Mushroom Powder, optional
Place the hemp hearts, shredded coconut and coconut oil in a food processor and blend until the mixture starts to stick together a bit.
Add the remaining ingredients and continue to pulse until the mixture balls up.
Scoop the mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper. Place another sheet on top and smooth the mixture out into a square about 1 inch thick. (You could also press it into a small pan, or even into muffin tins.)
Place the bars in the freezer for at least an hour. Remove, cut and enjoy!!
Much love,
Lane
Although Sun Potion sent me their products to try all opinions are my own. I really think they’re a lovely company!
