Why You’ll Love These Bars
They’re simple.
No oven. No complicated steps. Just mix, press, and freeze.
They’re nutrient-dense.
Chia, hemp, and flax seeds add fibre and plant-based omega-3s to support digestion and satiety.
They support steady energy.
Tahini provides healthy fats to help balance blood sugar, while honey offers natural sweetness without the sharp crash.
They include a functional boost.
Our 3 Mushroom Blend (Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, and Turkey Tail) adds cognitive, energy, and gut-support benefits — seamlessly blended into a nostalgic snack.
INGREDIENTS
Dry Ingredients
- 4 cups brown rice cereal
- ½ cup cacao nibs
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ¼ cup hemp seeds
- 2 tablespoons flax seeds
Wet Ingredients
- ⅓ cup tahini
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons 3 Mushroom Blend
DIRECTIONS
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown rice cereal, cacao nibs, chia seeds, hemp seeds, and flax seeds. Stir until evenly distributed.
Warm the Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan over low to medium heat, gently warm the tahini and honey until smooth and fully combined. Do not let it boil.
Add the Flavour + Functional Boost: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the cinnamon, sea salt, vanilla extract, and 3 Mushroom Blend until fully incorporated.
Combine Everything: Pour the warm mixture over the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until every piece of cereal is coated.
Press and Set: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture into the pan and press down firmly using a spatula or your hands. The firmer you press, the better the bars will hold together.
Freeze: Place the pan in the freezer for 60 minutes, or until fully set.
Slice and Store: Remove from the freezer, slice into squares, and store in an airtight container in the fridge (up to one week) or freezer (up to one month).
