If you feel like a chef, this is the place to be!
INGREDIENTS:
- 225g date puree
- 115g blanched almonds
- 95g shelled green pistachios
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) spelt flakes
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) ground flax seeds
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) coconut oil
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) ground hemp
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) summer honey
- 1 lemon zest
Is your list finally complete? It's time to show us your talents!
PREPARATION:
Step 1:
In a food processor, pulverize the date puree, lemon zest, almonds and pistachios. Pulverize to obtain a more or less homogeneous paste. Then transfer to a large bowl.
Step 2: Melt the coconut oil and summer honey in the microwave for about thirty seconds, then pour over the date puree. Add the flax, hemp and spelt flakes and mix well. Chill in the fridge for 60 to 90 minutes, then separate into 20 or 24 equal portions. Form balls by rolling them between your hands, then store them in the fridge until your next bike ride.
Step 3: Now all that's left is to wrap your granola bites! I suggest buying washable and reusable bags, or even beeswax paper, to transport your snack cleanly and responsibly. Let's avoid plastic or aluminum film, which are most often found on the sides of our favorite roads.
You are now ready for a nice ride, accompanied by your delicious summer honey granola bites.
