Category:     Snack

Description:
I bought a health bar the other day called a Lara Bar (larabar.com). I was ecstatic because the ingredients were not 'avoids.'


General applicability:

Fruit-Nut Snack Bars
Green: recipe contains only neutral or a beneficials ingredients for that type.
Yellow: recipe contains an secondary avoid ingredient that may be substituted by a more permissable one.
Orange: contains an avoid in a primary ingredient.



Ingredient list:

  • Prune-Nut Snack Bar
  • 2 cups dried pitted prunes
  • 2 cups unsweetened dried apples (I used Grannny Smiths from Trader Joes, no additives)
  • 1/2 cup almonds
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1/2-1 teaspooon cinnamon [or use a BTD compliant substitute]

    Date-Nut Snack Bar
  • 2 cups dates
  • 1 1/2 cup dried unsweetened apples (I used Granny Smiths from Trader Joes, no additives)
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon cinnamon [or use a BTD compliant substitute]


How to make it:

  • Prune-Nut Snack Bar
  • Put all ingredients in the Cuisinart.
  • Start with 2 cups prunes.
  • Blend until mixture is soft and sticks together when pressed together with fingers.
  • Add more prunes only if necessary to get mixture to stick together when pressed in a pan.
  • Press mixture into a 9-inch square pan or a 9-inch pie plate.
  • Cut into small squares or rectangles.
  • Wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Eat as a snack

    Date-Nut Snack Bar
  • Put all ingredients in the Cuisinart.
  • Start with 2 cups dates.
  • Blend until mixture is soft and sticks together when pressed together with fingers.
  • Add more dates only if necessary to get mixture to stick together when pressed in a pan.
  • Press mixture into a 9-inch square pan or a 9-inch pie plate.
  • Cut into small squares or rectangles.
  • Wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Eat as a snack.

    Note:
    Dates and raisins are to be used infrequently for many disease conditions, so I made up two recipes, one with the original ingredients, the other with prunes. I look forward to making up a version of this fruit bar using dried apricots and walnuts - as well as other dried fruits and nuts.
