As the weather warms, I'm noticing we go out exploring more often - whether on a new trail or just hanging out at the park. However, it also means we're not at home with easily accessible food. The solution? Granola bars. I like how customizable they are, and these are full of protein to help keep you from getting too hungry (or hangry, as the case may be). Initially, I made these granola bars for James since he didn't mind the smoked almonds. I didn't find them quite appetizing by themselves. We were also doing the whole "no added sugar" thing while he was at jumpmaster, so the bars he usually brings were out. I figured I could use the smoked almonds and make him some granola bars. Two birds and all. I threw in some dates for binding and sweetness and some coconut because it's yummy. After making these bars, I reluctantly tasted one. A blogger's gotta taste her own work after all. Now my tune's changed about those smoked almonds. I still doubt I'll eat them plain, but mixed into these granola bars? Delectable! I'm not sure if it's the dates or coconut or just the combo, but I'm definitely making these smoked almond coconut bars again! And! It's no bake, so no need to fire up the oven either!

What's a food you don't like, unless it's mixed with other foods?

  2. I made these bars without added sweeteners since we were trying out the "No Added Sweeteners" diet out. Turns out, they're pretty yummy too! Let me know what you think if you try them out. :)
