Finding delicious protein bars with clean and healthy ingredients is a challenge. Add trying to find a Paleo-friendly bar on top of that list of must-haves is an even greater challenge.

Larabars are always a favorite for their clean ingredients, and they’re Paleo-friendly too! But buying store-bought bars is expensive, and you can make your own wholesome, nutritious bars at home in 10 minutes for a fraction of the cost!

This Larabar copycat recipe takes 4 whole foods ingredients and turns them into a batch of healthy snack bars with just a few spins of a food processor or blender. Each bar is naturally sweetened, and has plenty of protein and fiber to fuel you through the day so you can feel good about every bite.

Tip: You can play with the Larabar flavors by taking the base ingredients (cashews and dates) and substituting the mix-ins (blueberries and lemon) and other ingredients (like raisins, dried strawberries, raw cacao powder, shredded coconut, maca powder, etc.) to get an entirely different flavored bar.

Cashews are perfect for their silky, creamy texture. To make your bars velvety, soak the cashews in a bowl of water for 30 minutes. Drain the water and blend them with the other ingredients to get a smooth texture.

Store your Larabars in the freezer for an easy, on-the-go snack.
