Mrs. Fit's Nut N' Fruit bars

This recipe I made today. I've been looking for some more clean snack choices for me and my husband. Since we're both on the go all the time it's hard to find something that is nutritious for us.

I found a recipe like this off of Pinterest and just modified it a little.

 

 

What you'll need:

 

Food processor

 

Rolling pin

 

Parchment paper or Clear wrap

 

1/4 c. raisins or craisins

 

10 pitted dates

 

1 c. raw almonds or peanuts. You could use any raw nut really.

 

1/4 tsp cinnamon

 

 

Directions:

 

First process the dates and raisins, then add the nuts in last. If you have a smaller food processor like I do you will have to do it two batches so it's evenly mixed.

 

Process the mixture until there is still little pieces of nuts.

 

 Layout parchment paper and spread the mixture over it and then wrap it loosely.

 

 Use the rolling pan to roll it out into a flat sheet of bars. You want them thinner so they aren't so gooey.

 

Then freeze in the wrapping for 1 hour or a little longer. This is to help set the bars.

 

After they have been in the freezer cut the bars into 6 bars. Each one is about 150 calories, with good fats and protein.
