Healthy chocolate energy bars
If you’ve tried my Peanut Butter Energy Bars recipe, then you’re gonna love these Chocolate Energy Bars!
They’re really just a slight variation of the original recipe and I love them both!
I use Goji berries in these bars, but you can use any dried fruit you like really.
As you may already know, they’re my favourite go-to, pre gym brekkie.
They’re also fabulous as a post workout snack, especially if you need something quick and nutritious to refuel your energy stores.
I suggest keeping them in a container in the freezer, so you can just grab one whenever you like.

You’ll find plenty more simple, flavour-packed recipes here on my blog that work beautifully for post-menopausal bodies.
If you haven’t already, I recommend grabbing a copy of my free Post-Menopause Breakfast Makeover.
Your body responds differently now to food, stress, sleep and movement, so the old “just eat less” rules don’t work anymore.
The Makeover Guide shows you how to build satisfying breakfasts that support your post-menopausal body, for sustainable weight loss.

NO BAKE CHOCOLATE ENERGY BARS RECIPE
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond meal
- ½ cup flax seed
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 tbsp raw cacao powder
- 3 tbsp of natural peanut butter
- 16 medjool dates, pitted
- 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
- 1 tbsp Goji berries
- 2 tbsp boiling water
Instructions
- Line a slice tin with baking paper.
- Blend all of the ingredients in a food processor, except the boiling water, until well combined and the mixture forms crumbs. Make sure the dates and oats are finely processed.
- Slowly add the boiling water until the mixture clumps together; you may need a little bit more than the 2 tablespoons, I find I do if my measuring isn't spot on!
- Pour the mixture into the slice tin and press it down firmly and evenly.
- Allow it to set in the freezer for 2-4 hours before cutting into bars.
