Raw Lemon Date Bars

Nutritious, delicious, the perfect little keep-you-going-on-the-road bar!

Yesterday I went on a brilliant hike up Box Hill with some of my awesome work colleagues. A little more gruelling than our previous efforts it was, nonetheless, super worth it!

We had a rough start when our train was delayed, and then cancelled, the next train took us to Dorking and we had to do a quick re-plan of events – leading us on a longer, more uphill hike – but it was amazing! Stunning, challenging and fun – it was a fantastic day!

Beautiful views, stepping stones and numerous hill climbs require the best fuel and nothing will beat these raw lemon date bars for keeping you going, even up the most difficult hill climb!

I like to use medjool dates but if you can’t get your hands on some just soak some dried dates for an hour or so in some boiling water and you’ll be good to go!

They are really, really easy and quick to make. Full of incredible, nutritious, energizing ingredients and they taste simply amazing!!! Plus they travel really well. Making them the perfect on-the-go snack!

So whip up a batch of these, grab your hiking boots and let’s go on an adventure!
