Have you ever bought those pricey little snack bars at the grocery store only to open the wrapper and realize you just paid way too much for a tiny bar? Yes, you are paying for convenience but sometimes it’s nice to know you can make some snacks at home and save a little cash.  One of my favorite tasty little treats are LaraBars.   They are the perfect sweet fix and the only sweetener is dates which is a great whole food alternative to sugar and is just as satisfying.

These little snacks provide a powerful punch of nutrition as they combine dates, coconut, nuts and a bit of coconut oil. There is nothing processed or fake about them.  You can feel good feeding them to your whole family and the best thing is that they are kid approved!  Phew, that doesn’t happen too often:)

This recipe is very easy to switch up and make your own.  Keep the basic amounts of 1 cup of pitted dates, and then 1 cup of some other mix in, you can add any kind of nut or seed, or any other kind of dried fruit such as apricots or dried cranberries.  Coconut tastes good with everything in my book.  You could also get fancy and add mini chocolate chips, cocoa powder or peanut butter for a more rich version.
