No Bake Energy Bars (GF & Grain Free) | WholeLifestyleNutrition.com

Welcome to Family Friendly Fridays! Summer is quickly approaching and that means BUSY times are coming! We have an action packed summer planned this year! My girls have summer school, girls scout camp, swim lessons, vacation bible school and many other summer activities. My husband and I are celebrating our 10th anniversary so we have a trip planned to Belize (oh my can’t wait for that) and I am turning 40 this year and heading to New Mexico to bring in my 40th!

Wow with so much going on and so much traveling, I felt the need to come up with some quick and easy snacks that we could pack and go. So over the course of the next several months I will be sharing with you some quick and easy yet delicious and healthy recipes that you and your family can pack on the go.

This week I am sharing some amazing energy bars! Oh did I mention that there is no baking involved? How easy is that! If you have been looking for some healthy energy bars, I am sure you have quickly learned that there really aren’t to many options out there. That is ok! Once you make these, you will not have to worry about that anymore.

Feel free to add items to these energy bars. Some additional ingredients might be dried fruit (cranberries, pineapple, papaya, and organic raisins), coconut, carob chips to name a few. You could also omit the nut butter and add a tad bit more honey if desired. Don’t be shy to play around.

Family Friendly Fridays ~ Finally A Healthy Organic "No Bake" Energy Bar Recipe!

Serving Size: 1 energy bar

Family Friendly Fridays ~ Finally A Healthy Organic

Ingredients

2 oz raw almonds (preferably soaked and dehydrated) see recipe
2 oz raw pecans (preferably soaked and dehydrated) see recipe
2 tbsp raw honey, melted slightly
2 tbsp nut butter of choice
2 tbsp enjoy life mini chocolate chips or carob chips
dash of unrefined sea salt (see special note below)

Instructions

Add a dash of salt to the top of the energy bars.
Refrigerate for at least one hour and the energy bars will form together.

These are my new favorite snack! 1 tbsp of honey is sweet enough for me and I added some chopped dark chocolate instead of the chips. Love the salty, sweet, crunch...just perfect and very satisfying...thanks Halle!!

@RobinL So glad you enjoyed them Robin!

ValerieAustinRibbron

These are good! Added a little coconut oil to my batch. Will probably add shredded coconut to the next batch.

Except I would try using Brown Rice Syrup in place of the honey

These energy bars look mouthwatering delicious! I love that they don't require turning on the oven!

BTW, I didn't see links to the hearth and Soul Hop on your posts this week. Please add a link to one of the hosts when you have a chance.

I'm so glad you posted this! I'm pregnant and was just thinking that I wish I could find a healthy energy bar to make that I could put in the diaper bag or purse.. I'm always hungry on Sunday morning an hour after eating, so I'm left sitting through church STARVING and feeling icky.... Going to buy my nuts and try this next week! Thanks!
