There used to be just Lara Bars. Now there are so many varieties of fruit-nut bars and balls out there and they don't cost a penny. They are great for on-the-go, but I'd much rather work with whole ingredients. Over the years I've whizzed dates and nuts in the food processor on occasion, pressed and cut them and within a few days between hubs and I, they were gone! It's always a thing I wish I did every week as part of #mealprep. Because in my best life I do meal prep. Ha. Usually not. BUT. I'm a mom now, and time and windows have never been of the utmost importance. If I can do one thing that is uncomplicated for which my later self will thank me, I do it. Like these balls. Yum. A couple ingredients--lime zest and a little juice, unsweetened coconut, dates and almonds, and you've got yourself that portable fruit and nut snack in a package. Don't skip the lime, it really flavors it.
