Healthy Power Baklava

This 'Healthy Power Baklava' can be a healthy snack (or post-dinner dessert), that can boost energy before a long yoga practice or nourish the muscles after an intense workout.

I based this recipe off of traditional baklava's main ingredients -- nuts and honey, but this version is rich, satisfying, and healthy!

Healthy Power Baklava

2 tbsp raw shelled pistachios

2 tbs walnuts

2 tbs raw sunflower seeds

2 tbs raw pumpkin seeds

1 tbs ground flax seeds

4 tbs raw buckwheat or flower honey

1 tsp cinnamon

pinch of nutmeg

a drop of organic vanilla extract

Fresh lemon zest sliced in tiny pieces

Fresh ginger slices or ginger powder

Optional: To make this even healthier, try adding 1 tbs of bee pollen or Green Matcha powder. To increase fiber add 1 tbsp of roasted buckwheat groats or chia seeds.

Make sure that the honey is room temperature, not cold. Mix everything together and let it seat for 15-30 min for flavors to absorb. Enjoy a few spoons with a cup of fresh ginger tea. Store the rest in the fridge for a future treat.
