All Natual Healthy Fruit and Seed Bars

Healthy Fruit and Seed Bars - All Natural Great for Breakfast or Snack

I love dried fruit, nuts and seeds.  And together they are magical.   So magical that once I start eating them their powers take over me and I cannot stop.  Alas, I love granola, trail mix and fruit and seed bars.  Since I know myself very well I typically don’t keep granola or trail mix in the house and if I do I need to keep it in single serving portions.  Fruit and nut bars, nicely come in single serving portions but I find that if they can be dry and lack big fruit flavor which is why I  make my own.  Not only can I control the flavors I can also control the ingredients.  

Healthy Fruit Bar

This recipe is one of my favorite.   I love the crunchy seeds, sweet fruit and salt from the roasted sunflower seeds.  I often have a bar before I exercise or as a sweet treat with a cup of tea in the afternoon. They are a perfect portion and quite an indulgence for 150 calories.  These bars also have a ton of fiber which is always awesome.   I like them best when they are chilled.  If you like a soft and gooey bar you will love them at room temperature.

    Very Good and tasty!! Be careful not to use the processor too much, or else you will have a paste with no chunks or pieces of fruit. In an effort to mix the seeds thoroughly, using the processor tends to grind them too much. it may be a good idea to mix the seeds in by hand so they remain whole or in large pieces. I will make this recipe again, but will modify it.

      I use the pulse mode on my food processor and I do add the seeds in last. Thanks for your tips Don.
