Raw Cacao Goji Energy Bars

I'm a big fan of energy bars because they're very delicious, often made with few simple ingredients and they're so easy to take with you and just have them hanging around in your backpack for whenever you need a snack! So, I decided to make my own energy bars at home, so that I can cut back on packaging and create less waste and also, I was really excited to be in the kitchen and just experiment with ingredients, making my favorite flavors.

These Raw Cacao Goji Energy Bars are the perfect combination of sweet chocolate flavor and also, that roasted flavor from the nuts makes it all better. I always tend to use simple and nutritious ingredients, so that I have a wholesome snack/ meal on hand and nourish my body as well. The goji berries here are a big booster, as they're considered a superfood, therefor they're loaded with antioxidants, which is great for us!
