Homemade Larabar, Vitamix Recipes
Ingredients
12-15 pitted dates
3/4 cup raw slivered almonds
1 heaping tablespoon almond butter
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 dried cranberries
1 1/2 teaspoon flax seeds
Directions:
Step 1: Place 12-15 pitted dates in a food processor or you can use a Vitamix blender. Grind up into small pieces (about 30 seconds in a Vitamix blender on medium speed).
Step 2: Add the raw slivered almonds, almond butter, honey, dried cranberries, and flax seeds. Grind for another 45 seconds. Experiment with the time, if you like chunky granola bars grind for a shorter amount of time.
Step 3: Use a spoon to scoop out some of the batter and roll into a ball. Repeat until batter is gone.
Step 4: Place power balls in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Step 5: ENJOY! If you want the power balls to last longer you can place them in the freezer or fridge.

Ah, I’ve been wanting to start making my own sort of snack/granola bar. I’ll have to keep this recipe in mind! Thanks!
Vitamix sounds great, but I’m pretty happy with my Ninja. We’ll see how I feel after living with my in-laws for a month (they have a Vitamix!)
I’ve never tried a Ninja, but I’ve also heard good things! I never understood why people wanted expensive blenders, but you really can use it for so many things.
