Apple Cinnamon Energy Bars



INGREDIENTS
1 small apple, cored
1 c dates 
1/2 c cooked quinoa
1/4 c almonds
1/4 c flaxseed
1/4 c your favorite protein powder ( I use NOW Whey Vanilla)
2 t cinnamon
1/2 t nutmeg 

DIRECTIONS
In a food processor, process all ingredients until desired texture is reached. If you prefer a uniformly smooth bar, process longer. If you would rather a bar with more crunch and texture, blend for less time. 

Remove mixture from processor and either shape into balls or a brick. To roll into balls, simply pinch off a desired amount and roll between your hands. To roll into a brick, which you can cut into bars, places mixture on plastic wrap and flatten, covering with another layer of plastic wrap. Use a rolling pin to roll mixture to the desired thickness, then cut into bars. 

Makes 12     1¾ ounce bars. 

Number of Servings: 12
