A Great Snack For Busy Times
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!
A Healthy Treat For Traveling
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.
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.
Customize These Energy Bars To Your Liking
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.
- 2 oz raw almonds (preferably soaked and dehydrated) see recipe or You Can Buy It Here
- 2 oz raw pecans (preferably soaked and dehydrated) see recipe or You Can Buy It Here
- 2 tbsp raw honey, melted slightly
- 2 tbsp nut butter of choice - You Can Buy It Here
- 2 tbsp enjoy life mini chocolate chips or carob chips
- dash of unrefined sea salt (see special note below) - You Can Buy It Here
- Mix together melted honey and nut butter. Allow to cool, you don't want to melt the chocolate chips.
- Mix the remaining ingredients together and press firmly into a small dish lined with parchment paper.
- 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.
- Slice after well chilled.
- Store in refrigerator.
Trying these today!
Let me know what you think Valerie, my neighbor came over last night and she LOVED them 🙂
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!
Thanks for sharing this with us at Scratch Cookin’ Tuesday!
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.
[email protected] am not sure why that didn’t come over, so sorry, I will do that now 🙂 Thanks for pointed that out for met1 ~ Halle
cannot wait to try this!!
here’s a version i’ve used with much satisfaction: http://bit.ly/ibO3PU
PERFECT! Love it! I need this recipe for an upcoming event… will be a life saver fro me! Blessings!!! I am thrilled 🙂
Thank you for your submission on <a href=”http://www.nourishingtreasures.com”>Nourishing Treasures'</a> Make Your Own! Monday link-up. Check back later tonight when the new link-up is running to see if you were one of the top 3 featured posts! 🙂
Except I would try using Brown Rice Syrup in place of the honey
These are good! Added a little coconut oil to my batch. Will probably add shredded coconut to the next batch.
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!!
[email protected] glad you enjoyed them Robin!
Oh my, this looks DELIGHTFUL! Thanks for stopping by and saying Hi! I look forward to checking out your site! Blessings, Kelly
[email protected] absolutely love your site 🙂 So colorful and the recipes are right up our alley. I was there for your launch and come back often 🙂
[email protected] so much! That means a lot! You have a beautiful site here and I’m glad to have found you! 🙂
Yum!!! I will definitely be making these!!! Thanks!
these are one of my favorites from you 🙂 Haven’t made them in a while, but they are now on my “to do” list for today!
These are so great! Have not made them in a while…thanks for the reminder 🙂
This (sans chocolate) & the brussel sprouts are my two favorites from you!
GREAT for skiing/afternoon pickmeup!
what is the breakdown of carbs/protein etc?
looks yummy! 🙂
Can you soak the nuts but not dehydrate them? Thanks
I can’t have honey on the candida diet what could I use instead of honey?
How can I add protein powder to this and still have it come out ok? I eat keto so no grains, gluten or sugar but I need to bump up my protein intake without adding too many more fats
You could add some gelatin from a grass fed source. That would be the best choice for your needs.
