Nutty Energy Bar

For a while, I was eating a mix of walnuts, pistachios, macademia and Brazil nuts daily. While preparing for my long-distance bike ride (STP), I started developing an energy bar made from these nuts to fuel me during the ride. Now, these homemade energy bars have become my go-to breakfast, and I enjoy two of them to kickstart my day. 

These bars are packed with healthy fats, fiber, and a generous dose of selenium from Brazil nuts. 

Walnuts — Best plant source of omega-3s, plus antioxidants and essential nutrients like magnesium and copper.

Pistachios — Packed with heart-healthy fats, plant protein, fiber, and B6 for energy metabolism.

Macadamia Nuts — High in healthy monounsaturated fats, rich in manganese and thiamine.

Brazil Nuts — Best source of selenium; just 1-2 nuts (1-2 bars) cover your daily selenium needs.

Hemp Seed Protein — Complete plant protein; offers all essential amino acids, with balanced omega-3 and omega-6.

Chia Seeds — Absorb liquid to form a gel, ideal for hydration and fullness.
