**Pin This Recipe**
I am always looking for healthy, energy packed snacks that will carry me through the afternoon lull. I love this snack because it is gluten-free and so easy to make! You need only 5 ingredient and a food processor. The almonds provide protein and the dried dates and fruits provide fiber! These bars are so much healthier than purchasing prepackaged bars because you know each and every ingredient going into these bars!
My sister-in-law created this recipe with dried mango and coconut. If you prefer different flavors, you can totally switch out the mango or coconut with raisins, craisins, dried apricots, etc. The opportunities are endless for this recipe! And, if you follow the recipe below, taste your mixture after it is processed in the food processor. If you prefer for your bars to have a stronger mango or coconut flavor, you can always add more of that particular ingredient! This is a very forgiving recipe that is hard to mess up!
Once you have mixed and processed the ingredients, gently spread them and press them in a pan (see below for recipe)
