These popular “No-Cook” Energy Bars are quick and easy to make in less that 5 minutes! Cut them into any shape you want, and they taste great and can be stored for a long time. Compared to commercially available energy bars from the store, these homemade treats are much healthier with all-natural ingredients, and they’ll also save you money!

Energy bars are perfect for healthy snacking, especially before and after a workout to boost your energy and stamina as well as providing healthy nutrients.

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make a batch of Homemade 3-Ingredient Energy Bars in only 5 minutes:
 

1 cup almonds
1 cup dates
1 cup unsweetened dried cherries

Note: You can substitute almonds and cherries with any nuts and dried fruits, but make sure to keep the dates. Dates act as a binder and sweeten your energy bar without adding any artificial sugar.

 
Here are the easy steps to make these delicious Healthy Homemade Energy Bars:
 
 

1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor.
2. Pulse a few times.
3. Process for 30 seconds.
4. TURN OFF AND UNPLUG the food processor. Scrape the edges of the bowl to make sure nothing is sticking.
5. Process for 1-2 min continuously until a ball is formed.
6. Place saran wrap on top of a cutting board.
7. Put the ball on top of the saran wrap and press into a 8×8 inches disk with your hands.
8. Wrap the disk and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
9. Unwrap the disk and place on a cutting board.
10. Cut into 16 squares, 8 long bars or roll into 32 small balls.
11. Wrap each square/bar/ball individually and store in the fridge for 2-3 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
