Healthy Energy Bar Recipes

Fakebook is pretty useless. Look how beautifully this article posted here.

Energy bars are a convenient, on-the-go snack to toss in your gym bag, but they can be full of added sugar and other not-so-desirable ingredients. Plus, they’re not exactly cheap. These recipes are healthy, quick (all it takes is a quick spin in the food processor) and mostly no-bake. Freeze your homemade creations — with a variety of nuts, seeds, fruit and grains — for a later date, or pack the freshly made bars in a Ziploc bag for a portable breakfast or mid-morning snack.

16 Homemade Energy Bar Recipes to Make Now

Healthy Homemade Energy Bar Recipes: Raspberry Chia Bars Recipe

1. No-Bake Raspberry Chia Breakfast Bars

It may look like dessert, but guess what? This energy bar passes for breakfast, too. The 15-minute no-bake recipe pairs a nutty oatmeal base with a fruity chia seed-studded raspberry jam. Consider this your healthy dose of omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, fiber and antioxidants. Photo and Recipe: Renee Blair / Life by Daily Burn

Healthy Homemade Energy Bar Recipes: Apple Pie Bars Recipe

2. Apple Pie Granola Bars

Nothing’s sweeter than apple pie. So when it comes to healthy snacks, this take on the classic American dessert scales back the sweetness to just five grams of sugar per bar. You’ll still nail the flavor, though, thanks to chucks of dried apple, pecans, toasted oats and cinnamon. Photo and Recipe: Carmen Sturdy / Life by Daily Burn

Healthy Homemade Energy Bar Recipes: Chocolate Cashew Almond Bars Recipe

3. Chocolate, Cashew and Almond Bars

Now tell us this doesn’t look like dessert. Dates and cashews make up the base of this bar, while cocoa powder, unsweetened coconut and vanilla add decadence (without all the guilt). If you have trouble finding moist, soft dates (oftentimes they’re pretty dry), soak them overnight in water before tossing in the food processer. And don’t forget to remove the pits if they’re still in there! Photo and Recipe: Angie / seasaltwithfood

Healthy Homemade Energy Bar Recipes: Larabars Recipe

4. 3-Ingredient Homemade Larabars

Not jazzed about spending $2-$3 for a store-bought bar? Make ’em yourself! These Larabar-inspired snacks require just three simple ingredients: nuts, medjool dates and dried fruit. Promise: This energy bar recipe is worth breaking out the food processor for! Photo and Recipe: Renee Blair / Life by Daily Burn

Healthy Homemade Energy Bar Recipes: Apricot and Cashew Bars Recipe

5. Apricot and Cashew Bars

For a tropical treat, try these scrumptious bars made with apricots, cashews and unsweetened coconut. Rolled oats and hemp seeds, packed with omega-3, -6 and -9 fatty acids, hold all the ingredients together. If you don’t have agave syrup on hand, honey works too. Photo and Recipe: Christal / Nutritionist in the Kitch

Healthy Homemade Energy Bar Recipes: Goji Berry Bars Recipe

6. Goji Berry Bars

The stars of these bars are dates, walnuts, sunflower seeds and goji berries. If you’ve never dabbled in goji territory, they are tiny red berries (usually sold dry) full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids. Cocoa nibs — tiny pieces of the cocoa bean — complete the recipe with an extra boost of antioxidants, plus a rich and tangy crunch.  Photo and Recipe: Marie / citronlimette

Healthy Homemade Energy Bar Recipes: Fig and Nuts Energy Bars Recipe

7. Fig and Walnut Energy Bars 

We can’t think of a better way to deliver nature’s candy — in this case, dried cranberries, Turkish figs and apricots. Make a big batch of these hearty bars and you’ll be set on healthy snacks for up to 10 days. Photo and Recipe: Perry Santanachote / Life by Daily Burn 

DIY Energy Bars: Apple Cinnamon Energy Bars Recipe

8. Apple Cinnamon Bars

Full of fall flavor, these bars mix pecans, oats, dates, cinnamon, granny smith apples and just a touch of salt. Bake the pecans before pulsing in the food processor for a more robust, roasted flavor. If you’d like these bars a little extra spicy, don’t be afraid to go to town on the cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Photo and Recipe: Alexandra / Confessions of a Bright-Eyed Baker

Healthy Homemade Energy Bar Recipes: Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars Recipe

9. PB & J Bars

Swap the elementary school staple for a healthier, grown-up snack that pays homage to the classic PB & J. Dates and dried cranberries stand in for the jam, while natural peanut butter (choose one without added sugars or oils) and whole almonds bring on the nuttiness. At 200 calories per bar, this snack is a real class act. Photo and Recipe: Christal / Nutritionist in the Kitch

Healthy Homemade Energy Bar Recipes: Kamut Dark Chocolate Bars Recipe

10. Kamut Dark Chocolate Energy Bars

Chocolate and coconut get dressed up with kamut, an ancient grain packed with protein and B vitamins, believed to help us feel energized. Don’t freak out about the prunes, though. The dried up fruit isn’t just for Grams and Gramps — they’re full of fiber that everyone can put to good use. Photo and Recipe: Selena / HealthBean

Healthy Homemade Energy Bar Recipes: Rise and Shine Energy Bars Recipe

11. Rise and Shine Bars

Get up and at ‘em with these gluten-free crunch bars. Puffed brown rice cereal provides a lower calorie base than most store-bought bars, while flax seeds, pine nuts, pecans and dried cranberries add healthy fats and antioxidants. To make these bars even healthier, ditch the brown sugar in favor of honey. Photo and Recipe: Meg / Beard & Bonnet

Healthy Homemade Energy Bar Recipes: Pomegranate Date Quinoa Bars Recipe

12. Pomegranate Quinoa Bars

These bars pack a medley of healthy ingredients, from flaxseed powder to pomegranate seeds to protein-packed hemp seed powder. Need more incentive to try these out? Instead of oats or puffed rice, this recipe relies on the complete protein, quinoa, to complete each bar. Note: These are best frozen and enjoyed quickly before they get too soft. Photo and Recipe: Annie Taylor Chen / Vegan Ann

Healthy Homemade Energy Bar Recipes: Five Seed Bars Recipe

13. Five Seed Bars

These energy bars are super seedy — times five! Made with chia, sesame, sunflower, pumpkin and poppy seeds, there’s plenty of flavor — and fiber — rolled into these no-bake bars. Add in coconut, dates and cocoa powder, and we’ll be looking forward to these all week long. Photo and Recipe: Renee / Nourish Your Roots

Healthy Homemade Energy Bar Recipes: Chocolate Chip Protein Bars Recipe

14. Chocolate Chip Protein Bars

This powerful energy bar recipe delivers 12 grams of protein, but it’s lower in sugar than the average bar. They’re gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and require just six ingredients. Try using peanut butter for more of a “peanut butter cup” variation, or cashew butter and vanilla protein powder for more of a cookie dough flavor. Photo and Recipe: Lee Hersh / Life by Daily Burn

Healthy Homemade Energy Bar Recipes: Raspberry Oat Bars Recipe

15. Whole-Grain Raspberry Energy Bars

These wholesome breakfast bars are filled with fiber from oats, flax seeds and raspberries. They’re also packed with wheat germ, the nutrient-rich embryo of the wheat kernel that is removed during the refining process. Enjoy your energy bar with a cup of yogurt for a heart-healthy morning meal. Photo and Recipe: Perry Santanachote / Life by Daily Burn

Healthy Homemade Energy Bar Recipes: Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bars Recipe

16. Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Bars

With six grams of protein each, these homemade energy bars will put those store-bought snacks to shame. Plus they taste like peanut butter cups, which is always a good thing. Photo and Recipe: Emily Miller / Life by Daily Burn

This group is a Natural Health resource and research center, designed to empower our members with knowledge. You can suggest topics you’d like us to cover, search the group for thousands of discussions on almost every health issue imaginable, participate in those discussions and in posts that Administrators post periodically. You can also explore the FREE online Natural Health Library, for a lot of great info on many common health concerns.

About This Group: The Natural Health Library Private Member Association 

By joining this webpage, “The Natural Health Library”, I agree to the terms and conditions of The Natural Health Library Private Member Association Agreement as follows.

  1. This Association of members declares that our objective is to seek to help each other achieve better health and live longer with good quality of life. 
  2. We believe that the Constitution of the USA and the Charter of Rights of Canada guarantees our members the rights of free speech, petition, assembly, and the right to gather together for the lawful purpose of helping one another in asserting our rights protected by those Constitutions, Charter and Statutes. WE HEREBY Declare that we are exercising our right of “freedom of association” as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and equivalent provisions of the various State Constitutions, as well as the Charter of Rights of Canada. This means that our association activities are restricted to the private domain only. 
  3. We declare the basic right of all of our members to decide which members could be expected to give wise counsel and advice concerning physical and mental health care assistance and to accept from members those whom we feel are able to assist the actual performance and delivery of therapy, treatment and care. 
  4. We expect the freedom to choose and perform for ourselves the types of therapies and treatments that we think best for diagnosing, treating and preventing illness and disease and for achieving and maintaining optimum wellness. 
  5. The mission of this Association is to provide members with the highest quality health care advice and the most effective methods of treatment. We educate and offer to our members the tools needed to help them pursue optimal health. The Association specializes in Nutritional Information, Supplementation and Healing Technologies that support a return to natural health as a superior alternative to patent drugs, surgery or radiation. 
  6. The Association will recognize any person (irrespective of race, colour, or religion) who has joined this webpage and is in agreement with these principles and policies as a member of this association, and will provide a medium through which its individual members may associate for actuating and bringing to fruition the purposes heretofore declared. 
  7. Membership to this association and this webpage, “The Natural Health Library”, may be terminated by Terry Chamberlin and/or his administrators for any violation of the rules or policies of this association, or if, in the opinion of Terry Chamberlin and/or his administrators, a member’s conduct is not in keeping with these rules or policies.

Memorandum of Understanding

I understand that the fellow members of the Association that provide services and care do so in the capacity of a fellow member and not in the capacity as a licensed health care provider. I further understand that within the association no doctor-patient relationship exists but only a contract member-member Association relationship. In addition, I have freely chosen to change my legal status as a public patient, customer or client to a private member of the Association. I further understand that it is entirely my own responsibility to consider the advice and recommendations offered to me by my fellow members and to educate myself as to the efficacy, risks and desirability of same and the acceptance of the offered or recommended treatment, tools and care is my own carefully considered decision. Any request by me to a fellow member to assist me or provide me with the aforementioned treatment, tools and care is my own free decision in an exercise of my rights and made by me for my benefit, and I agree to hold Terry Chamberlin and other members and the Association harmless from any unintentional liability for the results of such care, except for harm that results from instances of a clear and present danger of substantive evil as determined by the Association, as stated and defined by the United States and Canadian Supreme Courts

In addition, I understand that, since the Association is protected by the principles of the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution and the Charter of Rights of Canada, it is outside the jurisdiction and authority of Federal, State and any other governmental Agencies and Authorities concerning any and all complaints or grievances against the Association, any Trustee(s), members or other staff persons. All rights of complaints or grievances will be settled by Terry Chamberlin and will be waived by the member for the benefit of the Association and its members. Because the privacy and security of membership records maintained within the Association have been held to be inviolate by the U.S. and Canadian Supreme Courts, the undersigned member waives all privacy rights and complaint processes. Any medical or healthcare records kept by the association will be strictly protected and only released upon written request of the member. I agree that if any dispute arises I will seek to settle it privately between Terry Chamberlin and myself and I agree I cannot and will not take this private matter to a State, Provincial, Federal or any other government public protection agency.

I agree to join the Association, a private membership association under common law, whose members seek to help each other achieve better health and live longer with good quality of life.

I understand that the doctors, nurses, and other practitioners who are fellow members of the Association are offering me advice, services, and benefits that do not necessarily conform to conventional medical care. I do not expect these benefits to include on-call coverage, hospital care, or the usual and customary care provided by most physicians. I will receive such primary and specialist care elsewhere.

As a member, I accept the goals of helping my body function better and choosing techniques that are both safe and have a reasonably good chance to succeed, realizing that no diagnostic technique or treatment is foolproof. If I choose to forgo drugs, surgery, or radiation that has been recommended to me by others, I fully accept the risk that I might suffer serious consequences from that choice. Other aspects of informed consent will take place in my discussions with the providers and my fellow members of the Association.

My activities within the Association are a private matter that will not be shared with anyone else without my specific permission. All records and documents remain as property of the Association, even if I receive a copy of them. I fully agree not to file a malpractice lawsuit nor take any other legal action against a fellow member of the Association, unless that member has exposed me to a clear and present danger of substantive evil. I acknowledge that the members of the Association do not carry malpractice insurance.

I enter into this agreement of my own free will or on behalf of my dependent without any pressure or promise of cure. I affirm that I do not represent any Province, State, Federal or any other governmental agency whose purpose is to regulate and approve products. I have read and understood this document, and my questions have been answered fully to my satisfaction. I understand that I can withdraw from this agreement and terminate my membership in this association at any time.

These pages consist of the entire agreement for my membership in this Association and they supersede any previous agreement.

I understand that the membership gives me access to nutritional products and services that will require a fee to receive said products and services. I agree to pay said fees to receive said products and services.

I agree this contract began on the date of my joining the Facebook group, “The Natural Health Library”. I declare that by joining this private webpage, I have carefully read the entirety of this document and I fully understand and agree with it.

I also agree that, should I disagree with any part of this statement, I will immediately delete my membership here.
