Name: Valentine's Raw Mars Bars (DF, GF, Grain-free)
Ingredients: 1/2 cup almonds; 1/2 cup cashews; 3 tbsp hemp seeds ((optional-- but so nutritious! 10g of plant protein per 3 tbsp.

I used their Macuna Pruriens dopamine bean. Feel free to exclude or use an alternative adaptogenic powder/nutrient-dense powder for added benefits. Original ingredient list calls for lucuma)); 3/4 dark chocolate bar ((or sub 1/3-1/2 cup chocolate chips)); 1 tsp melted coconut oil; Pinch sea salt; 3 tbsp freeze-dried strawberries
