In a food processor, grind the nuts until they are a crumbly, fine consistency. Add in the dates, cacao powder, agave nectar, water, & sea salt & mix until well-combined.
Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir in the goji berries, bee pollen, & sesame seeds. Once ingredients are well-combined, press bar mixture into a 9x9 glass baking dish. Chill for at least thirty minutes.

Gingersnap Bars - If you love gingersnaps you'll love these homemade energy bars which also double as a dessert!
Ingredients:
1 cup raw, organic walnuts
1 cup raw, organic almonds
2 cups raw, organic dates, (pitted, dropped 1 at a time)
1 teaspoon raw, organic coconut oil
1 tablespoon organic, sprouted, ground, golden flax seed powder (optional)
2 teaspoons raw, organic cinnamon
1 inch nub of fresh ginger from the root
1/8 teaspoon ground clove
1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
Put nuts in food processor and run until roughly chopped or desired consistency. Add all dry ingredients & run for a few seconds until mixed. While running, drop the dates one by one into the mix. Run for just a few seconds more after last date has been dropped (mixture should be moist but still crumbly and stay together when pressed between your fingers, don’t mix too long or nut oils will over develop & end result will be oily). We like ours in ‘bar’ form, but you can also roll these into balls. If making bars, spread into square/rectangle pan or dish and press down firmly. Chill for at least 20 minutes, then cut (we used a 6" x 9" glass dish). Store in an airtight container in the fridge - will keep for 1 week.
