The on-the-go, travel-light snack bar. Derived from a famous raw food bar and the ultimate in 'foodie!' This is a great snack for the active lifestyle and impressive to hand out to others. As an outdoor professional I take these in the back country and they need not be refrigerated and give great energy. Cut into bars and enjoy or wrap individually for on the go.

Tips:

  • For a chewier texture, use a food processor to grind the cashew-date mixture until it is very fine.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the cashews and dates very finely by hand. This will take a little longer, but it will still work.
  • If you want a sweeter bar, add more honey or maple syrup. You can also add a little bit of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
  • If you are allergic to nuts, you can substitute sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds for the cashews.
  • These bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

These cashew-date-coconut energy bars are a delicious and healthy snack that is perfect for on-the-go. They are made with simple, wholesome ingredients and are packed with nutrients. They are also gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan, so they are a great option for people with dietary restrictions.
