Raw White Chocolate Matcha Snack Bars

One of the biggest tips for staying away from processed foods is to always have something homemade in the fridge for a healthy snack or pick-me-up. These snack bars are similar to a muesli bar but have a real chocolately undertone from the cacao butter. With the addition of matcha powder, these healthy treats are incredibly energizing, satisfying and full of goodness!

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup cacao butter
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1/2 cup raw cashews soaked overnight

• 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon of freshly grated orange zest
• 1 cup raw oats

Instruction

1. In a small saucepan melt down the cacao butter and coconut oil until it is liquid and set aside to cool.

3. When the cacao butter and coconut oil has cooled slightly, add them to your blender with the strained and rinsed cashews, salt, coconut nectar, matcha powder, ginger and orange zest.

5. Pour this blended mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well.
