I just found these and they are delish! Great for a quick snack! But....I have read that they might not be 100% raw. Does anyone have a recipe for any of the flavors?

Thanks,

The Banana Cookie Bar is just dates, almonds & unsweetened banana. So pehaps, if you could find some unsweetened banana (I'm sure it would have to be dry to work), you could make one of those. I've been told you should roll the concoctions in some type of nut flour so they'll stick together.

My son sends me Lara Bars every year for Christmas. One of these days, I might make my own.

Yes, I did check through all the previous threads, but was unable to find a really "great" recipe for homemade ones. :(

What is wrong with Laura bars? I love them, are the not really raw?

Some of the larabars would be VERY simple to recreate.
A couple only have dates and cashews. (Cashew cookie?)
So get your food processor out and blend away!
Then shape into bars and bam.
It doesn't sound difficult to me.
Maybe the type of dates that they use would change the flavor, or the ratio of nuts to dates...but just try it out.
Most of raw food is eyeballing/tasting.

I KNOW!!!!! I have picked over twenty pounds this weekend and Thursday evening going back out to pick more!
Have you tried Maraw's Lemon Berry Smoothie - oh man! It is way good. It's the post titled something like Yummy - you gotta try this (something like that)...

And yes Andy, you have been "under control" of late - darn!!! I like when your feathers get ruffled...
