Portable nutrition that’s a cinch to make? Count us in. Wanderlust Hollywood<\/a> executive chef Seamus Mullen’s tropical energy bar has a hint of sweetness without the added sugar to weigh you down.<\/p>\n

“This high-fat, high-protein energy bar is terrific. It’s a great low-sugar snack or even a light breakfast. I’m a big fan of munching on these bars on my long bike rides.”<\/p>\n

Tropical Energy Bar with Macadamia Nuts<\/h3>\n

INGREDIENTS<\/b><\/p>\n

8 oz unsalted macadamia nuts
\n8 oz dried pineapple, unsweetened
\n4 oz dried coconut flakes, unsweetened
\n2 oz coconut oil
\n1 tbsp\u00a0chia seeds
\n1 tsp coarse sea salt<\/p>\n

DIRECTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a food processor, combine everything except sea salt and chia seeds and pulse until it resembles a dry cookie dough. If you need to add a little moisture, drizzle in a small amount of cold water.<\/p>\n

Fold in the chia seeds and sea salt with a rubber spatula and then spread onto a cookie sheet lined with plastic wrap. Cover and use a second cookie tray to press until even.<\/p>\n

I like to cut the bars into the size I like and then freeze the whole tray until I\u2019m ready to use them. Wrap individual bars in dual sided, parchment\/foil wrappers.<\/p>\n

Makes 2 12-oz bars\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
