Many of you may remember my Copycat Cherry Pie Larabars Recipe that I posted a couple of months ago. One of my favorite snacks or pre-long run snacks are Larabars. My problem is that they are pricey! So, making homemade Larabars is much more affordable AND I have complete control over the ingredients in my bars. My sister-in-law created this Almond Joy Larabars recipe. These bars are packed with protein and fiber. AND, they are gluten free!
If you make these bars – or a variation of these bars – I would love to hear your thoughts!
Almond Joy Larabars
Ingredients
1 cup almonds
1 ¼ cup dates
½ cup shredded coconuts
dash of salt
1-2 tsp of cocoa powder
2-3 tsp of coconut oil
a handful of chocolate chips
Directions
1. Place almonds in food processor and blend until finely chopped.
2. Add in all other ingredients and process until dough sticks together between fingers when pressed (about 3-5 minutes). If it doesn’t seem to stick, add a few more dates or coconut oil or water to help it stick.
3. Press in a 8×8 or 9×11 baking pan and place in fridge to set – about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
4. Cut and enjoy!

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
Hi Liza, I always really like your photos of your food. Are you the photographer ? If so, impressive! They look professional. Kristen
