No-Bake Chocolate Chia Seed Energy Bars – Vegan & Delicious

The healthy and delicious, non-bake chocolate energy bars are my top snack options for hectic daytime, weekend excursions as well as pre-workout snack options. They’re easy to make in a blender or food processor, high in antioxidants, have no added sugar and taste incredible! Meet your new favourite snack: rich, decadent chocolate flavour, perfect soft but firm texture and wholesome, real food ingredients like walnuts, coconut, dark chocolate and chia seeds.

Go Homemade!

Do you prefer homemade, organic, natural energy bars made from vegan ingredients instead of store-bought “energy” bars with a lengthy list of ingredients that are difficult to pronounce? This is all homemade for me! They’re soft and chewy with a little crunch from the chia seeds. The flavour is rich and decadent with hints of coconut, dark chocolate, walnut and sea salt. They are so good! I like to keep a stash in the freezer at all times for sweet but heathy pick-me-ups, and as a nourishing option to take care of any chocolate cravings.

These bars are very energizing and satisfying too.  The healthy fats in the chia seeds, walnuts and coconut really help to keep you full and provide long-lasting energy. I love them for a pre-workout snack, post-workout recovery snack and to take on hikes and adventures. They travel well so they’re perfect for taking on the road.

The only downside is you might get a few chia seeds stuck in your teeth, but that’s not so bad is it?

Ingredients Needed To Make These

To make these beautiful, nourishing, no-bake chocolate chia energy bars, you’ll need some of my favourite ingredients:

Medjool dates – Nature’s candy, plenty of health benefits and one of my favourite foods. 

Chia seeds – One of my favourite superfood ingredients and a must-have for any healthy kitchen!

Unsweetened shredded coconut – A must for no-bake vegan energy bars! Energy for days.

Walnuts – A super-powered superfood packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals and perfect for no-bake bars. 

Dark Chocolate – High in antioxidants and phytonutrients. I like

Once you have everything you need, it’s simply a matter of creating the “dough” in a food processor or high-powered blender. I use the Ninja Mega Kitchen System for all my no-bake bar recipes and I’ve been very happy with it. Then pressing into a baking pan, setting in the fridge then cutting into bars! Enjoy!
