Note: This is a slightly modified, gluten-free version of my Almond Butter Strawberry Energy Bar recipe. The cinnamon really makes the difference!
You can find me eating one of these this weekend at Mission Ridge Ski & Board Resort 🙂
“Wet” Ingredients:
1 box (12.3 oz) Firm Silken Tofu (Mori Nu)
1/2 C vegan brown sugar or 1/3 C fruit jam
1/2 C non-dairy milk
1 t vanilla extract
2/3 C Once Again sunflower seed butter
Dry Ingredients:
1/4 C EACH: quinoa flour, millet flour, brown rice flour, garbanzo bean flour & rolled oats (GF)
1/3 C oat flour (GF)
3 T ground flax
2 T fine shred unsweetened coconut
1 t cinnamon
1/2 t salt
In a food processor, puree the “wet” ingredients. Add to the dry ingredients. Spread the mixture in a greased square glass pan. (I like to use coconut oil to grease pans.) Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Cool completely before cutting. A pastry cutter works well. Store in the freezer with a little space between each bar.
WHAT THE F…?!?!
I recently signed up to get email updates from some Animal Exploiters’ websites. Today, I click-opened my E-copy of Dairy Today Magazine. Here is a screenshot that I took of an ad for Pfizer Animal Health’s vaccine, Bovi-Shield Gold HB.
The text reads,
“If she can’t stay pregnant, what else will she do?”
“Keep your cows pregnant and on the job. Bovi-Shield GOLD FP 5 L5 HB is the only viral combination vaccine to prevent Lepto hardjo-bovis for a full 365 days. Ask your veterinarian or Pfizer Animal Health representative how to protect her pregnancy, your reproductive program and your bottom line.”
This is ad is so offensive on a number of levels. I really don’t believe I need to add any commentary to the hunting reference. The image is simply PATHETIC.
I will say a few things about cows:
- Cows should NOT be “kept pregnant” and “on the job.”
- Her pregnancy should belong to her.
- Her life should NOT be serving anyone’s bottom line.
- Her milk belongs to her baby.
GO AWAY, Dairy Industry.
