Fruit & Nut ENERGY BARS | No Added Sugar | No Bake

[@basilcoriander470]

Petra always has the best and simple recipes. I'm more curious how Petra keeps everything so so clean like brand new, the food processer, the cutting board, knife, spoon, everything.

[@nutritionrefinedasmr7025]

Lol, thank you! I can tell you :) 1. Cutting board - wipe it down with a wet cloth after each use and dry immediately. If there stains, I scrub is with baking soda and lemon juice. Whenever the board is looking dry, I use mineral oil. I never put my cutting board in the dishwasher. 2. Food processor - I never leave food in the food processor. If I am filming (and know that there will be a little bit of time when the food is sitting in the bowl), I transfer the food into a glass bowl and immediately wash and dry the food processor bowl. I never put the food processor bowl in the dishwasher. 3. Knives - just like anything else, I wash and dry my knives immediately after use. I also hone and sharpen my knives regularly and hang them in a block. Again, no dishwasher! I think that's it ;)

I just made the Cherry energy bars. I added two tablespoons of hemp seeds to them, and they came out delicious. Can't stop eating them.. Thank you for sharing

I make my own date/nut/seeds bars that include a wide variety of dried fruits, nuts, and seeds, plus cocoa powder (and/or carob powder). I will also add flax seeds (that I make into a meal) and also chia seeds and hemp seeds, again turning these into a meal. I make enough to put into one full baking sheet pan and cut them up into 1-inch square cubes. I figured out that based on the ingredients I use these cubes are about 70 calories on average. Needless to say, that's the point of these "Larabars" or any other date/nut/seed bars, to be densely full of healthy calories, and a mix of protein and carbohydrates. You made a good observation about the oils in the nuts as I've noticed that if I over-process the seeds and nuts that their oils come out making the mix a bit oily. I also have a Vitamix Ascent 3500 with the additional food processor kit. I blend up the dried fruits in a blender jar using the tamper separately and food process the nuts and seeds separately too (sometimes I might mix the smaller batches of seeds or nuts just for time and space saving). The dried fruit when blended becomes a sort of "dough" that I mix altogether to form a big ball of "dried fruit dough" in one large bowl. I mix the food processed nuts and seeds together in a separate bowl. I combine everything either inside my largest bowl by hand literally kneading it and take out handfuls at a time until I fill up the large baking sheet lined with parchment paper so that it's about 1-inch thick. I refrigerate the pan for an hour or so to stiffen up everything. Finally, using a ruler or using my eyes for a less exact cut, I carefully make 1-inch cuts along the width and length of the pan to make the cubes. I take out the cubes and store them in a plastic container that will fit all of the cubes. A lot of addictive healthy calories.

[@nutritionrefinedasmr7025]

Yes, definitely addictive! Thank you for your insights, Robert. Those are really helpful.

[@coulislisima3668]

It seems good. I’ll try soon. Thanks 👍🏾😃

[@SuperLightin]

Thank you, Petra! 💐 😍 Do you have similar recipes with green buckwheat?

[@nutritionrefinedasmr7025]

I don't (sorry!) but love the idea!

[@Butterflyneverlands]

For some reason I stopped liking store bought energy bars but I’d def make these. I can already see me liking the apple and cherry ones very much.

[@nutritionrefinedasmr7025]

Tanner isn't a fan of store-bought energy bars either but really likes these. My kids love these but they devour even store-bought bars :-D

Love ur videos! Would like some dinner recipes that r nut free please…;) what’s ur fav go-to dinner choice?🌸

[@nutritionrefinedasmr7025]

Hi Maria - I have an entire cookbook with dinner recipes ;) My go-to are vegetable stir-fry, vegetable pad Thai, or Portobello mushroom steaks :) Honestly, there are so many - now I am thinking I cannot leave out lentil dal and chickpea chana masala (Tanners favorite).

[@JazzyJaxx]

What’s the storing procedure for these bars? How long would they last for? :))

[@nixonnate32]

Nice! I think Imma experiment sometime! 😋

[@crose1466]

The one dislike is Larabar

[@lacipri66]

Great!

[@nutritionrefinedasmr7025]

Than kyou Priscila!

[@thawk5987]

Hi Petra, I noticed that Larabars states that their product last roughly 9 months on the shelf. Do you think that if vacuum sealed these bars would last a similar length of time? Thanks!

[@hollybarnett4150]

Are you using raw, or roasted nuts in these recipes?
