A superfood-packed power bar, adapted from Donna Hay, these no-bake quinoa and blueberry power bars are naturally gluten-free, refined-sugar free and perfect for on-the-go. I used Davert organic 100% almond butter (no added sugar or sweeteners) for the recipes because it contains heart-healthy monounsaturated fats as well as vitamins and minerals. Feel free to use natural peanut butter instead. Use regular dried blueberries if you don't have accesse to freeze-dried one. These bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

1. Line a lightly greased 20cm x 30cm slice tin with baking paper and set aside. Place the xylitol, almond butter, water and vanilla in a small saucepan over low heat and cook, stirring, for 5-6 minutes or until the xylitol has dissolved.
