Did you know you can make your own larabars at home? Yep, all you need is a few simple ingredients and a food processor.

These energy balls are a great pre-workout snack. You can also up the protein by adding in a few scoops of Collagen Powder or some Egg White Only Protein Powder. I got this recipe from one of my favorite blogs The Real Food Dietitians. You will not believe how delicious and easy these are to make.

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients into the bowl of a food processor.
2. Process until mixture is crumbly yet still holds together well when pinched between your fingers. If mixture is too dry, add another date and process again or add a splash of water. If mixture is too wet, add a few more nuts and process again until crumbly.
3. Press mixture onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet forming a square about 9 x 9 inches (or roll them between your hands to form them into 16 balls). Place bars in the fridge to chill if they seem sticky.
4. Cut into 8 bars. Wrap in parchment paper and store in a covered container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
