Raw Banana & Spirulina Energy Crackers

3 ripe bananas

1/2 cup of shredded coconut

1/4 cup of almond flour

1/4 cup of sesame seeds

1/8 cup of flax meal

Date paste (8 dates blended with 1/2 cup of water)

1 T hemp flour/meal

1 T spirulina powder*

* Health benefits of spirulina – provide plenty of energy, strengthens the immune system due to the beta carotene which is said to be 10 times more concentrated than carrots and will assist in a stonger immune system, believed to be high in B-12 and the only plant source of this vitamin (which is a common defiency in some vegans), thought to improve digestive health, believed to be one of the worlds richest sources of protein without the extra cholesterol you would have if you consumed an animal source of protein, spirulina is  rich in iron, magnesium and other trace minerals.

1/2 t of lemon juice

Process bananas with all ingredients except for sesame seeds and coconut in a food processor fitted with the S blade.

Once processed, stir in the coconut and sesame seeds until well combined, then pour all mixture onto one dehydrator teflex sheet and spread evenly to roughly these dimensions.

Dehydrate on 110′F/45′C for 10 hours, then score into desired sizes. I did square cracker sizes. Then remove from teflex sheet onto mesh sheet and dehydrate for a further 4 hours or until your desired texture – some people prefer chewy, I liked between chewy/crunchy  If you made double mixture, you could turn these into bars.
