We made these for our good friend Jeremy for his birthday.
Energy Bars
- 1/2 cup cashews
- 8-9 dates
- (Then I added a drop.. just a drop of agave to make it more appealing for the kids. You could also add honey)
Blended it all up in our Vita-Mix. Once all combined, I pressed it into chunks.
After we decided we liked it, we began to experiment by adding:
- non sweetened coconut
- sesame seeds
- Hemp seeds
- pumpkin seeds
What I love: They are gluten free, full of fiber, they are non-dairy, vegan, and they pack a bunch of calories and healthy fat right into a tiny little bar. Not for your average snacking- but perfect for hiking and long stretches of time when you don’t want to carry much food.

Will a blender or food processor work? I haven't seen dates for sale here in TX. :(
Thanks for sharing. I want to try this.
@arlene
The original recipe said to use a food processor, I just don't have one.
I can mail you some dates.
