GREEN ENERGY SQUARES

Your afternoon snack just got a whole lot more colorful! Our Green Energy Squares are as eye catching as they are delicious—made with Matcha which gives a gorgeous green hue and cashew butter for a rich taste that'll keep you feeling satisfied. Our favorite part of these energy squares is that you can get creative with the crumble on top! We've even included a list of suggestions to help you get started. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Yield: 16 squares

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup almond meal
• 1.5 cups shredded, unsweetened coconut
• ¼ cup hemp seeds
• ¼ cup Tejari Organic Apple + Greens Blend
• 1 tablespoon matcha powder
• 8 dates, pitted and chopped
• ¾ cup cashew butter
• ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

HEALTHY ICING:

• 1 tbsp coconut oil, softened
• 1 tbsp Tejari Organic Apple + Greens Blend

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:

• Chia seeds
• Hemp seeds
• Unsweetened coconut
• Chopped pistachios
• Dried rose petals

DIRECTIONS:

1. Fit an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper so that the paper hangs over the sides. Set aside until ready to use.
2. Add all ingredients to a food processor in the order listed. Process until a smooth, malleable dough forms. You’re looking for the texture of cookie dough!    
3. Press dough into prepared pan to create a smooth surface that goes from edge to edge.
4. Next, make your icing by mixing together the softened coconut oil and Tejari in a small bowl. It should be a consistency where you can drizzle it.
5. Drizzle icing over the top of pan then sprinkle on any toppings you are using.
6. Transfer baking dish to the fridge to firm up, about 30 minutes.
7. Once firm, carefully lift out of pan using parchment, then slice into 16 squares, roughly 2x2” each.
8. Store in the fridge for two weeks or transfer to the freezer and thaw before enjoying.
