(my own tips:add some coconut oil or more dates if you feel the mixer is too dry）
Medjool dates – Nature’s candy, plenty of health benefits and one of my favourite foods.
Chia seeds – One of my favourite superfood ingredients and a must-have for any healthy kitchen!
Unsweetened shredded coconut – A must for no-bake vegan energy bars! Energy for days.
Walnuts – A super-powered superfood packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals and perfect for no-bake bars.
Dark Chocolate – High in antioxidants and phytonutrients. I like Green & Black’s Organic Dark Chocolate.
