Vegan Energy Bar with Halva and Chocolate – Only 4 Ingredients
As some of you might know, a few months ago I left my job and decided to focus on my blog, dedicating myself totally to writing, photography, and creating vegan recipes.
Yes, this is what I do for a living now.
I don't have another job, and to my great joy, I earn enough to live comfortably and enjoy life. After all, that's what we're here for, right?
Among my other income streams are my cooking workshops, where I teach how to prepare healthy, delicious, protein-rich vegan food designed for active people.
If you haven't signed up for one of my workshops yet, I've opened several dates for the coming month, so hurry up and reserve your spot.
I hold workshops 3-4 times a month, develop recipes for commercial companies, and I'm also studying nutrition, metabolism, and biology at the Open University because I want to expand my knowledge even further after finishing my Sports Nutrition studies at Wingate.
I think you've gathered that I'm very busy and don't have much time to spend in the kitchen.
That's why I made this cute vegan energy bar using only 4 ingredients, which takes exactly 5 minutes to prepare.
It requires no baking at all, it's gluten-free, and you can find the ingredients in any supermarket—no need to go searching in expensive health food stores.
Short story short, I'm short on time today!
