Greenie Bites

I love greens+ products! Their green powder is amazingly nutrient dense. Although it doesn't always go down easy. It has a very strong flavor making it almost impossible to give to a child! So, I decided to do what the greens+ people did.....put the powder in the form of a bar and actually make it taste good! I made a small batch of these little bites and my son devoured them! And yes, he gets very picky pants sometimes. These are definitely cheaper to make than buying the bars themselves. The powder is around $30, and an entire container makes roughly 35 bars!! Greens+ charges $30 for 12 bars in a box So it's quite a better deal to DIY!)
The original bars do not contain chocolate, I did them both ways and they both were amazing, but obviously, the chocolate LOOKS more appetizing, so I would start with that one if your little ones are freaked by green:)
Makes 28 small discs
4 discs=1 "bar"=daily serving of green powder:)
7 medjool dates
1c. almond butter(I made mine in the vitamix, or a very strong food processor. Or obviously, store-bought will work too,although will cost more.)
5-7tbls. greens+ green powder(start with 5, add more if you can)
1-2tbls. almond milk
Process the dates in food processor, then add almond butter, and green powder. Slowly add in the almond milk. It should make them form a ball, but you don't want them too wet! Pour out onto parchment paper and shape into small discs. Enjoy!
For a chocolate version
Melt 2tbls. chocolate chips with 1tsp. coconut oil


Dip discs into bowl of chocolate and place on parchment paper. Freeze for 10 minutes to set chocolate. Keep refrigerated for best results:)
Note: Making homemade almond butter in a vitamix can be tricky, you must have at least 3c. of almonds to achieve desired consistency.3c.= 1 1/4c. almond butter:)
