Super Easy to make!  No Added Sugar!  Delicious and Filling!

Here’s the Recipe that my Momma used from MywholeFoodLife.com:

Ingredients (She used Organic and Unpasteurized Items)

  • 15 Medjool Dates
  • 1/2 cup almonds
  • 1/2 cup cashews
  • 3/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 2 T coconut oil
  • 2 T water
  • Instructions
  • Mix the almonds, coconut and cashews in a food processor until fine.
  • Then add the dates, oil and water and pulse until a dough forms.
  • Line an 8X8 pan with parchment paper leaving enough room for some to come out the sides. That way, the bars will be easy to remove and cut with a pizza cutter.
  • Press down the down so that it is packed well and place in the fridge to set.
  • It will take an hour or two. Slice and eat. These should keep in the fridge for a couple weeks.

They taste like a MORE DELICIOUS VERSION of Lara Bars. These did not last long!

The Running:

It rained sporadically during my run which was very pleasant seeing how it was around 85 degrees outside. I may have died of exposure had it not been for that rain.

And for the sake of accountability, here is the workout:
