Raw nuts and seeds are one of the best sources for omega 3s. Pumpkin seeds are a nutrition powerhouse that contain high amounts of magnesium and antioxidants. These little green warriors are an incredible source of fiber. They are the perfect on the go snack as they are portable and can be taken with you wherever you go.
There is an ongoing battle with using dates or figs when making raw vegan treats. Dried figs are a great source of energy. They contain natural sugar but when paired up with the pumpkin seeds, the natural sugar won’t spike your blood sugar because the two counterbalance each other. Figs are rich in fiber which can aid in digestive problems or constipation. Figs also contain less sugar than dates. Figs also have fewer calories than dates, which give them the leg up in this recipe. When making this recipe, soak the figs in boiling water for 30–40 minutes prior to blending them. The figs will plump up and give the bars a more smooth texture.
We use carob chips in this recipe, but you can always opt to use regular chocolate chips. You can decorate them as you please by adding any dried fruit, nuts, seeds or granola on top.
