In reply to Autumn.

Good to know, Autumn!! I wonder if you took some of the dates and heated them with water to make a bit of a paste, and threw that in with the rest of the dates and other ingredients… maybe that would make more of a binder.
I usually find with these types of home made energy bars, especially date-based ones, that I usually wind up in the other direction, with a gooey paste that needs to be eaten pretty much out of the freezer! Usually pretty tasty though…

I tried the Larabars and they didn’t totally come out well– I don’t have a proper food processor, just a 10-cup puree chopper thing, and I’m guessing it made the difference because it didn’t make a fine enough paste for any of it to bind together even after refrigeration. Was delicious as a granola though :)

In reply to Aldera Chisholm. That's genius! I know what I'm doing the next spinach or kale is on sale.

I’m a huge green smoothie fan – I have them pretty much every morning. I found a great spinach trick: I buy huge bunches when it’s on sale and wash it all up. Put just the spinach in the blender with a splash of water (not much needed) and blend it into a paste. I then pour it into ice cube trays. That way in the am, I can just throw the cubes in the blender. Helps me save time in the morning, and cash by buying on sale, and ensures the greens are blended extra well.
