Hi, this came from Beachbody; I loved it so much I thought I'd post it.
I hear it's similar to the Lara bar.
3 or 4 Ingredients:
1) 1 cup pitted whole dates or prunes for the base (I used prunes)
2) 1 cup *dried fruit (I used dried apricots)
3) 1 cup **nuts and seeds (I just used flax seeds - next time I'll grind them because they really got stuck in my teeth
)
4) 2 scoops Shakeology (optional) *** (I don't know the measurement of the Shakeology scoops so I just used 2 scoops of vanilla whey isolate powder)
Options:
*could use: dried figs, raisins, dried cranberries, dried blueberries and/or dried cherries.
**could use: flaxseeds, chia seeds, pepitas, sunflower seeds, almonds, walnuts, peanuts, cashews, sesame seeds, coconut
***optional flair: 1/2 tsp. rum extract, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1 Tbsp. honey, 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract, 1-2oz dark chocolate chips, 2 tsp. grated fresh ginger.
Prep:
combine equal parts of ingredients into a food processor. process for 1-2 minutes. scrape sides and check to make sure all ingredients are breaking down into smaller pieces. process 2-3 minutes more until ingredients form tiny crumbs that come together in a loose ball.
Turn out the mixture onto a square cellophane (or an 8"x8" baking dish). Press into a flat disc. (I'm thinking of using a cookie scoop and making scoop-size individual the servings, placing them in cupcake liners)
Cover tightly and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Cut into 12 bars; enjoy! Store them in the refrigerator.
