A no-bake, healthy snack recipe with no added sugar.
Soak dates in unsweetened almond milk for 1-2 hours. {Any milk product will work}. Drain the dates before mixing the ingredients.
Add all ingredients to a food processor - dates, peanuts, dried strawberries, peanut butter, and vanilla powder.
Process until the ingredients are evenly combined {20-30 seconds}, using the "pulse" function.
Remove from the food processor and press into an 8x8 pan, lined with parchment paper.
Bars will last chilled in the refrigerator for one week, and a few months if stored in the freezer.
1. I used California dates, which are quite a bit smaller than Medjool dates. If you use Medjool instead, use 1/3 as many in this recipe.
2. You can substitute vanilla extract for vanilla powder.
