Sunshine Bars
January 2, 2016
There’s nothing like a quick sweet fix during the day to get you going, but even better when it’s a healthier sweet treat. These no-bake bars are similar to LaraBars, and the sweetness comes all from the dried fruit. I picked Apple, Cherries, Pears and Dates to make this, the flavors really went well together and can had the added bonus of coconut but this batch was just the fruit nut combo. They are Vegan friendly, but not considered raw, seeing how dried fruit is usually cooked at a certain temperature. Try to get the unsweetened dried fruit as the sweetened seemed to alter the taste completely. If your fruit is really tough, soak it in warm water before making this. Simply take the fruit out once it’s soften a little ( just a few minutes) and squeeze the water out best you can.
Puffed Quinoa Energy Bites in the back with Cranberries , PB, coconut and a tad of dark chocolate to sweeten the deal. Stay tune for those!

Sunshine bars would be great for snacks after the gym! I know my sister was asking about what she should eat after a nice workout! These looks delicious!

These look delicious. They remind me of some of my favorite store bought bars, but at a fraction of the cost.

Oh I’d love to make my very own bars. I’ve had Larabars but didn’t like them too much. Will love to make these for the kids as a quick nutritious snack.

Sounds like a great snack for kids of all ages! Not too difficult to make and would satisfy that “sweet” craving we all have at one time or another!
