Raw vegan Matcha green tea oat bars

Ingredients

• 6 Medjool dates, de-seeded and chopped into small chunks
• 130g rolled oats (gluten-free if required)
• 60g nuts of choice (I have used walnuts and pistachios in the ones pictured), roughly chopped
• 75g coconut oil, melted
• 30g desiccated coconut (unsweetened)
• 3 tbsp protein powder (soya bean/ pea/ whey).
• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• 2 tbsp cashew butter*
• 2 tbsp goji berries
• 1 tbsp Matcha green tea powder
• ½ tsp salt

*Note:
You can use peanut butter, but this imparts a strong peanut flavour, which masks the flavour of the green tea.

Variations

• These oat bars work well with other superfood powders like wheatgrass and spirulina, which impart a green colour, or baobab or maca, which are more neutral in colour.
• Use shredded kale instead of green tea.
• Substitute green tea for Omega- 3 superpowder or Vitalising superpowder for an extra nutritional boost.
• Substitute the chia seeds with ground goldenberry and chia power blend.
