CranWal Tahini Carob Protein Bites

     Hello WORLD! :) I have a wonderful snack-a-roo for you this very wonderful evening.. :) So sometimes in order to keep on my diet(MANY food intolerances..).. I ALWAYS keep protein bars on hand.. (FAVORITE BRAND.. RISE BARS.. SUNFLOWER CINNAMON VEGAN PROTEIN BAR!).. anyway.. that was getting a little expensive as I was going out and about A LOT. For some reason there was a couple weeks there where I was just going about all the time.. So to save a bit of money I decided that maybe making some of my own bars.. would be the best way to go.. So I took a gander in the fridge and I wasn't planning on making anything scrumptious.. I had just come to the conclusion that I needed something filling that I could stuff in my mouth so as not to eat whatever delicacies lay before me.. wherever it was I was going..
     At any rate.. I was also trying to follow as close as I could this EAT RIGHT FOR YOR BLOOD TYPE business.. and so I didn't want to use peanut butter as I am type O. So.. I took a look in the fridge and I saw that I had some tahini that I had for quite a while and needed to be used.. I was trying to decide what would go well with tahini and I wasn't certain as I hadn't really used it much before.. So I figured chocolate would cover the taste pretty well.. but then it struck.. CAROB!! Carob is delicious and good for my blood type!! YES!!
So I decided to start throwing different things into a bowl.. And this.. is what came to be..

(they don't look like much.. but they are delicious!)
Tahini Carob Protein Bites with Dried Cranberries and Walnuts
 
Ingredients:
 
1/2 cup Tahini
1/2 cup Honey
1/2 cup Raw Carob Pwd.
4 scoops RAW POWER Protein Pwd.

1/4 cup (Approx.) Walnut Pieces
 
P.s. You can sub another type of protein.. I just can't promise the results. :)
 
1. Mix all but the cranberries and walnuts.. I mixed by hand but you could easily throw this into a food processor.
2. Next Stir in the Cranberries and Walnuts. You can get creative and add different berries and nuts too. :) like maybe dried blueberries and macadamia nuts or something.. YUM! or PECANS!!! YUM!
3. ENJOY! :)

  3. thanks Jen!! It is really sweet and so true too! That's exactly what is selling at the farmers market right now. :) haha! :)
    The protein powder is really delicious even itself.. it smells like when grandma used to put strawberry jam and butter on toast for us.. haha! :)
    I think I actually had 3/4 cup tahini though and 1/4 cup of honey.. I think I wrote it down wrong cuz they were ALOT sweeter this time.. I'm going to try them again and then maybe edit the recipe.. Love yah sis!! :) They are really good just like this though if you get whim to make them. :)
