Have you ever heard of the drèche?

Dregs are a by-product of beer production. Beer is a fermented beverage whose starch (sugar) has been transformed by yeast, leaving only dregs, a fibrous and nutritious substance that is partially fermentable. Recovering the dregs kills two birds with one stone. On the one hand, it's an ecological act and, on the other, it's a source of protein and prebiotic fibre. It's worth noting that dregs come from the wheat, barley and corn used in beer production. It is therefore a product containing gluten and FODMAPs.

Express chocolate energy bars

Prep Time10 minutes
Refrigeration1 hour
Servings: 10

Ingredients

  • 1 t. (250 ml) almonds, cashews or walnuts (you can mix all 3)
  • t. (80 ml) of spent grain (or psyllium)
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) water*
  • ¼ t. (60 ml) cocoa bean nibs
  • ¼ t. (60 ml) hemp seeds, shelled
  • ¼ t. (60 ml) cranberries, dried, unsweetened
  • ¼ t. (60 ml) coconut, grated and unsweetened
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) cocoa powder
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 10 dates

Instructions

  • In a food processor, grind the walnuts with the spent grains and water.
  • Add cocoa beans, hemp seeds, cranberries, cocoa, coconut and salt. Mix again until smooth.
  • With the food processor running, add the dates one at a time and mix well.
  • Line a loaf tin with parchment paper and pour in the mixture.
  • Sprinkle a few hemp seeds and shredded coconut to decorate the top of the bars.
  • Cover with another sheet of parchment paper and press down firmly. Refrigerate for about 1 hour before unmolding, then slice the bars (it's a good idea to leave some weight, such as large cans, on the bars during refrigeration).
  • Wrap bars individually and store in a cool, dry place like the fridge. You can also keep them in the freezer and take them with you on long hikes.

Notes

  • Depending on the freshness of your dates, add up to ¼ cup more water if the mixture is too dry.
