ALISHA SMITH THE WHOLESOME ATHLETE’S HONEY BUZZ BARS For a cure for the 3.30pm ‘hangries’ (when you’re so hungry that you’re angry), check out these moorish Honey Buzz Bars by Meg Gilmer, The Wholesome Athlete. Harnessing the sustained energy of nuts and seeds, these Honey Buzz Bars are free from wheat, gluten, dairy, refined sugar and grains, and are the perfect way to banish the hangries! What you’ll need: 3 cups seeds (I used pepitas, sunflower, chia and linseed) ½ cup nuts (I used cashews, almonds, walnuts and brazil nuts) 2 cups of dried fruit (I used dates and apples), chopped ½ teaspoon cinnamon ½ cup honey ¼ cup coconut oil, melted How to make it: • Grind the nuts with 2 cups of the seeds to form a flour-like consistency and place into a medium mixing bowl. • Add the remaining seeds, dried fruit and cinnamon and stir to combine. • Pour in the melted coconut oil and honey and mix well. • Press mixture into a greased slice tin and bake for 20 minutes at 180°C. • Let the slice cool completely before cutting into bars, wrapping individually and storing in the fridge.
