I often get asked how to start the transition over to a real food / paleo lifestyle for the family and the best tips I have from my personal experience is to initially replace just one meal a day (breakfast was easiest for me as you can also eat breakfast all day 🙂 and make sure you have some pre-made compliant food and snacks to avoid bad last minute choices. These grain free energy bars are perfect for this. You can have an nutrient dense energy bar for breakfast or snac for school or work. This recipe also freezes well, and best of all it’s quick taking under 30 minutes to make!

I use almond butter and some almonds in this recipe but both can be left out to keep this nut free if you plan to send into school for the kids. This recipe has been a winner with everyone (paleo / real food or not). I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

| Slice into preferred size |
- This grain free energy breakfast bar is quite dense and filling so keep the slices smaller
- They can be stored in the freezer for a month and taken out one by one to thaw out over night in the fridge, in a hurry, I have eaten them straight from the freezer too!
- Otherwise store in the fridge for the week

Sounds great!
Thanks Laurie!
I’ve made these twice in the last two weeks. So easy to throw together and so delicious with a cup of coffee! Thanks for the recipe.
I’m so glad to hear! thank you!
Could you make this without the dates? It looks so good!!
yes for sure, you can use any or no dried fruit, will just be less sweet 🙂
I barely had any of the ingredients listed so substituted with different nuts and seeds, and I only had black tahini so it looks more like a chocolate slice.
Will defintitley be making this (or versions of it) on a regular basis.
