Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

10-12 medjool dates
2 cups pecans
Pinch sea salt
¼ cup desiccated coconut

Steps:

  • Pit the medjool dates and soak them in warm water for 10 minutes until they soften
  • Place the pitted dates and pecans in the bowl of a large food processor. Blend on high until a thick "dough" is formed and the mixture feels sticky.
  • Scoop about 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture and use your hands to roll it into a ball. If you have time you can let them set in the fridge for 5 minutes.
  • Roll the energy bites into desiccated or shredded coconut pressing gently so they adhere. Makes about 12-14 bites.

COCONUT DATE BARS



Coconut Date Bars image

The on-the-go, travel-light snack bar. Derived from a famous raw food bar and the ultimate in 'foodie!' This is a great snack for the active lifestyle and impressive to hand out to others. As an outdoor professional I take these in the back country and they need not be refrigerated and give great energy. Cut into bars and enjoy or wrap individually for on the go.
