In reply to Sarah B..

It’s not a bar, but a lot of kid’s like smoothies and Katie has a recipe for a protein shake. https://wellnessmama.com/recipes/brain-power-smoothie/

In reply to Rita.

I’m not sure there is a good substitute and since the date paste is what holds the bars together it won’t work without it. You could try a recipe like this instead though! https://wellnessmama.com/recipes/chocolate-coconut-energy-bars/

What would you suggest to use for a substitute for the the dates? I have a daughter that is sensitive to dates.

I need to make something similar to this with more protein content for a child with specific needs.. I know RX bars use some type of egg white.. Thoughts on how to do this? Do you have any other recipes you recommend? Having something that is a bar is ideal.. Actual meals at breakfast is too hard for my kid. He loves Lara bars.. but not enough protein. Thoughts?

In reply to Michelle. You can cover the nuts with water in a bowl overnight, then drain and rinse a few times to remove all the murky water. In winter, I spread them in a thin layer on a cookie sheet and put them in front of a heat vent in a box to trap the hot air. They dehydrate in a day, but make sure they're fully dehydrated before packaging them or they will get moldy.

In reply to Steve. I've never tried to store them for that length of time...

I’m into preparing a little bit. I have a food freeze dryer from harvest right. Would the wellness energy bars produce a long term energy bar that would last several years.

I think KIND bars are okay. I checked the ingredients and they looked okay.

Question: recipe stats say 5 min prep and 10 min cook time. Do you bake these at all? Thanks!

Can you put these in the freezer as well?

Any way you can make these without a food processor? I have a CHEAP blender I want to throw away, and no money to purchase anything. Thank you for any ideas.

I get the Kit’s Organic Bars by Cliff, at Whole Foods or Mrs. Green’s. I especially like the Dark Chocolate Almond Coconut. The only ingredients are: organic dates, organic almonds, organic unsweetened dark chocolate, organic coconut, organic virgin coconut oil and sea salt. I love them and the ingredients are healthy, but they are very expensive. Your recipe looks about the same. I have wished I knew how to make them myself since they are so expensive. I guess I missed this post in February but am glad I saw it now. Thank you, Katie!

I have come across your page a couple of times and I love it. Since I have had kids (4 and 1) I try to feed them healthy good for them foods. when I read the recipes I get a little overwhelmed because i have never heard of half of the ingredients. also I live in a small town and all we have is a Walmart and United. No natural food stores or anything like that. Would the quality of foods from these stores even be good enough? Or is it best to drive a half hr to a different place?
Hope my question is not confusing. I’m a young mom with no support on healthy food from family and I really want to give my kids the best. Thanks

I am going out of town and I want to make an energy bar for my kids but I don’t have dates or raisins. I don’t have time to run to the store before we leave but was hoping to pull something together with the almonds I have already soaked. Any ideas?

I made thes with my son as a treat for breakfast on his third birthday. He loved them, called them date almond crisp! We will definitely make them again.
