Healthy Date Bars to make at home
When I created this recipe I was looking for a very easy recipe for healthy homemade chocolate bars to make at home. The only thing needed is a good food processor, as the dates should be processed to a puree. Importantly to use pitted soft dates, sometimes there are dried dates in supermarkets, but those are not ideal to use for this recipe, as they are often not resulting in a good puree.
Thus, soft dates are ideal, and to make it even easier, buy dates without pits. In order to make these healthy snack bars at home not even an oven or other heat is needed, only the ingredients, a food processor and a mold to form those bars, are needed.
Healthy bars have a lot of benefits, as they taste incredibly good, but also contain a lot of vitamins, healthy fats and proteins. Additionally, nothing is heated up, hence no vitamins are lost, so we can even call them raw snack bars or raw chocolate bars! As proteins also make you feel full faster, these healthy homemade protein bars are perfect for a good snack.
