G dislikes cooking. She thinks it is ‘boring’ and a waste of time, and tries to get out of kitchen duties at home all the time. But preparing good healthy food is one of the life-skills that I absolutely insist my children learn from a young age. No excuse. Even if you are destined to be a star, you need to be self-sufficient. You need to learn how to take care of yourself.
Here are some cacao bites that G made. They were inspired by the almond bars I had at Alchemy, the lovely raw food café in Ubud, Bali.
It can’t get any simpler, or healthier. They are pure energy food, far better than any of the energy bars that you pay exorbitant prices for. Those shop-bought energy bars are full of sugars. These homemade ones are not.
Make them the G way, and you won’t regret it.
INGREDIENTS:
1. About 60g or quarter a block of Tru-Ra raw cacao butter
2. 1 to 2 cups of almonds and cashews
3. 1 handful raisins and or goji berries
4. 1 handful raw cacao nibs
5. 1-2 tablespoons wild honey
6. 1-2 tablespoons pure coconut oil
Combine all ingredients in a powerful blender. Adjust the coconut oil to a binding consistency. Press dough into silicon moulds and chill until firm. They are then ready to be popped out and enjoyed.
Perfect for lunchboxes!
PS: We used this raw cacao butter:

My daughter, she’s 7 yo – now love the enerG bar and yes trying to learn how to make it herself too. Somehow the tricky part here is to get the stuff she makes into the mould. I m still searching for Cacao nibs but have been using flaxseed meal.
