Yield: 10 bars

 

2 cups Medjool dates, pitted (soak in water if hard)

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

½ cup hemp seeds or protein or collagen powder

1 cup raw cashews

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 Tbsp coconut oil

1 Tbsp maple syrup

Pinch of salt

Optional: 2 Tbsp instant coffee or espresso powder for an extra kick

 

Combine all ingredients into a bowl and mix well.

Form mixture into 1-inch by 3-inch bars. Add slightly more maple syrup or coconut oil to make the batter wetter, or slightly more shredded coconut, hemp seeds, protein or collagen powder to make the mixture drier to form into bars.

Place bars in a glass container and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving. The bars will keep in the refrigerator for about one week or in the freezer for about one month.

5 Top Tips to Finding Your Next Doctor

1 Keep an Open Mind! Healthcare has come a long way. Today, you have access to practitioners that branch outside of traditional medicine and aim to identify the root causes of conditions while using alternative treatments that may help you get the relief you need. Just because it’s not a pill, doesn’t make it pseudoscience.

2 Build Your Health Care Team. There is no one doctor that can be the be-all-end-all for your health needs. Be sure to have a team of practitioners with different “lenses” and areas of expertise who will treat the root cause and not just the symptom(s).

3   Environment Influences Healing. Health is multi-factorial. Your mental and emotional environment plays a pivotal role in your healing potential. Your doctors and their staff should create an office atmosphere filled with positivity so you can get the most out of your care.

4 Your Story Matters.  Before you begin any treatment, be sure to have a comprehensive consultation to discuss your health concerns. Find practitioners who welcome questions and will take the time to listen and treat you with respect.

5 Report of Findings. When it comes to our health, we often make decisions without understanding the risk versus benefits. Knowledge is an important part of the healing process and is essential to make conscious, informed health decisions. Find practitioners who take the time to explain their exam findings and the recommendations for treatment in ways that make sense to you.
