Homemade survival energy bars #1 -- Make these Vegan homemade backpacking energy bars

Quick vegan energy power bars to add to your vegan backpacking food plan or plant based backpacking meal plan. This is also vegetarian and gluten free. This is the only food you would need to bring! I cut it into 8 bars and had almost 1 per hour. It has all the vitamins, minerals, fat, protein, and carbs that you need. Please note, I did blend the mixture for an extra few minutes after stopping the video.

Things I forgot to add....after cutting them into bars I roll them in shredded coconut which prevents them from being so sticky. And if it is a hot sweaty day, I would package these up in a zip lock and then sprinkle in a teaspoon of salt and coat them like a potato chip...I really wish I had added extra salt on my hike. Again, keep in mind that I eat a package of dried bananas to balance out my sodium and potassium (read about sodium/potassium pumps :) Also the one nutrient I cannot figure out how to add more of is the amino acid Lysine. Thoughts? It is also short on Vitamin C. Around here I make up for it by eating some violet leaves when ever I cross a creek :) 1/2 cup is all you need! or you can just ad some white mulberries.

Link to ingredients and quantities https://goo.gl/BzGgTi , brands on the list are not necessarily the brands and types I use, but the only things in Cronometer's data base that matched the nutrition of the brands I used.

Link to some of the food items I recommend for reference, many items are great to buy from Amazon, but many are much cheaper in your local store https://amzn.to/393oMaC
