Feeling zesty? Wondering how we kept our diet fresh while on the road?

Not content to dine on burgers and ding-dongs, Tanja has created delicious cookies that are ready to travel and pack a nutritional punch! These cookies powered her and the team through their trip to Pixelodeon, when the cravings for road food hit. With healthy ingredients like oats, flax, organic citrus zest and the goodness of almonds, here is an energy-rich treat you can feel good about. Cranberry-Citrus Power Cookies!

Makes 2-3 dozen power cookies

1C almonds
1C dried coconut
1C oats
1/2C dried cranberries, unsweetened or fruit sweetened
1/2C agave syrup
1/4C fresh orange juice, about 1 orange
1/4C ground flaxseeds
1/4C slivered or chopped almonds
2T fresh citrus zest, about 2-3 large oranges and/or lemons
1T vanilla extract
1T pumpkin pie spice
Dash of sea salt

Process almonds into coarse meal in food processor, then add the coconut, oats, ground flax, spice and salt. Pulse food processor to mix dry ingredients. Then add juice, agave, and vanilla, and pulse to incorporate to a dough-like consistency. Stir in cranberries and additional almonds. Shape into cookies and chill, or dehydrate overnight until outside is crunchy.

Feel the power!
