Almond Power Bars

Advanced and Core Plan

These no bake, high-protein, high-fiber bars are a cinch to make and easy to take along.

2 Cups Raw Almonds
1⁄2 Cup Flaxseed Meal
1⁄2 Cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
2 Scoops Flavored Whey Protein Powder
1⁄2 Cup Raw Almond Butter
1⁄2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
1⁄2 Cup Coconut Oil
8 Drops Liquid Stevia or 3⁄4 Teaspoon Stevia Powder, To Taste
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract (No sugar – check the label)
8 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted and sweetened to taste with stevia and cinnamon (optional)

Place almonds, flax meal, shredded coconut, whey powder, almond butter and salt in a food processor. Pulse briefly, about 10 seconds. In a small saucepan, melt coconut oil over very low heat. Remove coconut oil from stove; stir stevia and vanilla into oil.

Add coconut oil mixture to food processor and pulse until ingredients form a coarse paste. Press mixture into an 8 x 8 glass baking dish. (A parchment paper liner helps when you want to remove the bars from the dish.) Chill in refrigerator for 1 hour, until mixture hardens. In a double boiler, melt chocolate, stirring in stevia and cinnamon. Spread melted chocolate over bars; return to refrigerator for 30 minutes, until chocolate hardens. Remove from refrigerator, cut into bars, and serve.

No-atmeal Cookies

My son challenged me to make a cookie that tasted like an oatmeal raisin cookie but would still be advanced plan approved. Of course, oatmeal was out so I had to get creative. His taste test gave it a thumbs up. The spices and dried blueberries really gave it an oatmeal raisin flavor.

Advanced or Core Plan

Makes 24 cookies


1 cup almond flour
1/8 cup walnuts
1/8 cup pecans
2 tablespoons flax meal
1/4 cup erythritol (I used Swerve)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
dash nutmeg
dash ginger
2 eggs

Optional:  1/2 – 1/3 cup Dried blueberries (I used Eden brand) to mimic raisins

Process nuts in a food processor so to a semi-fine consistency.  Add the rest of the dry ingredients.  Add the eggs and process until smooth.  Add the blueberries if desired and mix in with a spatula.

Drop by tablespoons on a parchment lined baking sheet. Shape with fingers if desired. (I left mine in mounds)

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-13 minutes (they will still feel somewhat soft)

Grainless Strawberry Bread

Advanced & Core Plan Options

Serves 16

One of the things people often miss when changing their diets are breads, muffins and other sweets.  This is an awesome treat that is a great breakfast, dessert or snack.  The large slices of strawberries are a burst of flavor.  The recipe comes together very easily and can be sliced and frozen if desired.  Make them during the holidays as gifts.  

Note: Sweeteners like erythritol or date syrup should be used sparingly on a healthy diet.  

 

  • 1 pound fresh organic strawberries, sliced (about 2 ⅔ cups)
  • Dash pure stevia (I use Kal brand)
  • 2 cups erythritol (Advanced Plan) or 1 ¼ cup date syrup (see below) (Core Plan)
  • 3 cups advanced plan flour – 2 cups almond flour, ½ cup coconut flour, ½ cup garbanzo bean flour.  You can use just almond flour but doesn’t give the same consistency.
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 5 organic eggs
  • 1 ¼ cup avocado oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 cup chopped nuts, optional

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Line two loaf pans with parchment paper.  

Leave strawberries on the cutting board, sprinkle with pure stevia, and toss to coat well. 

In a large bowl, mix the flour, sweetener, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Whisk eggs in another bowl then add in oil and mix well.  Add the strawberries and stir.  Add the wet mixture to the dry and stir well.  

Pour batter into the loaf pans, dividing equally.

Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.  Cool in pans for about 10 minutes then carefully lift them out using the parchment paper.  Use a bread knife to cut into nice clean slices.  

Date syrup-

cut about ½ pound of Medjool dates into bits and add 2 cups of water.  Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 30 minutes.  Let cool for another 30 minutes then puree the mixture using a high powered blender or food processor.  If desired, you can strain the mixture with a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
