    Happy Monday!

    So this year I decided that I wanted to collaborate more with other bloggers and content creators so when Stephanie Spring reached out to me to partner with her I was very excited. Stephanie is a fellow Stonyfield Blogger with me over at the Clean Plate Club, but she also has an amazing blog that shares delicious recipes that are healthy, seasonal, and good for you. Her photography is beautiful and it really makes you want to give all of her recipes a try.

    Speaking of trying out her recipes…I will actually be giving her recipe for Lemon Larabars a try and sharing those with you today.

    If you have never heard of Larabars, they are a brand of healthy fruit and nut energy bars that are minimally processed. The Lemon Larabars are both tangy and sweet and making them yourself at home is so unbelievably easy. I actually had all of the items on hand and it was a great way to use up some of the ingredients that were already in my pantry. I love making recipes that do not require me to have to make a trip to the grocery store.

    These bars require no cooking or oven time whatsoever and I enjoy making raw treats because they are 1) sweet, 2) contain much less processed sugar, and 3) I don’t feel guilty about indulging in them. Will I be making this recipe again, absolutely, will I be eating way too many of these today, probably so.

    Be sure to head over to Stephanie Spring to leave a comment to let Stephanie know that you are stopping by from Simply LaKita.

    Equipment

    • Food processor

    Ingredients
      

    • ¾ cup unsalted cashews
    • ½ cup unsalted almonds
    • 1 ½ cups Medjool dates, pitted
    • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
    • ¼ teaspoon salt

    Instructions
     

    • Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
    • Using a food processor, add in the cashews and almonds and process until the nuts are chopped into smaller pieces.
    • Add in the dates, lemon juice, and salt. Continue processing until it forms a mixture that sticks together.
    • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and use a spatula to press down into an even layer. Place in the refrigerator and allow the bars to set, 1 to 2 hours.
    • Remove from the refrigerator and cut into the desired size. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

    Notes

    *Cut the dates in half before adding to the food processor for easier processing.

      These taste great!
      I think I needed to blend mine more cause they never set enough to stay together . I have to freeze them for them to maintain their shape 😅
