I Love Larabars.

Seriously, LOVE. If you haven't ever had them I would highly recommend running to the store and trying them.Vegan, Raw, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and awesome! I won a sample pack by posting on their blog and am now addicted. They run about 190 to 220 calories but are all natural. Most of them only have 3 ingredients and are so good for you. The great part it you wouldn't know by tasting them that they are healthy. My favorite so far has been the Key Lime Pie but I still have so many flavors to try. Here is the bummer. They are expensive. Most places have them for $2.00 or more each so I went on a search for recipes and found some. YAY. I will give them a try next week but they look pretty good so far.I just have to hunt down the key lime pie version.

• Lay two pieces of plastic wrap on counter.
• Place fruit in food processor and pulse until it has a paste-like texture. Transfer to a medium bowl.
• Add nuts to food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add nuts to bowl with the fruit.

• Use fingers to knead into a paste.
• Divide mixture in half. Place each half on plastic wrap. Wrap plastic around mixture and form into a bar shape.
• Wrap tightly in plastic and store in the refrigerator.
