Lemon Larabar Bites (Vegan and Gluten Free)

Melissa King 58 Comments

Lemon Larabar Bites that are vegan and gluten free.  If you have been following this blog for a long time, you know that I love larabars.

Especially if they are homemade larabars!  I have had several requests to do a lemon larabar recipe, so here it is.  I absolutely love lemons, so I was excited to create the larabar version.

They came out so good!  I am happy to tell you that these are grain and gluten free.  If you have a nut allergy, you can try making them with sunflower seeds.

These homemade lemon larabars make the perfect snack because it only takes minutes to make them and there is no sugar added!

These can be made in just minutes and are gluten free!  Can it get better?  My daughter just loves cinnamon.  In fact, to get her to drink her milk, I add some cinnamon to it.  I call it Meadow’s Secret Milk and she drinks it right up!  So these were right up her alley.  I hope you enjoy them as well.

Lemony Cookie Dough Bites

Melissa King 82 Comments

Lemony Cookie Dough Bites that are vegan and gluten free.  I love lemons.  I put them in my daily juice.  I just love the way they smell and how they seem to freshen a recipe up.

I have plans for a lemon bar, but for now I just made these little bites.  I was inspired by the sweet and lemony taste that sugar cookies have.

Lemons are rich in vitamin C, so they can help protect you from colds and the flu.  Lemons can help cleanse and detoxify your liver.  They also contain 22 anti-cancer compounds and can help slow the growth of cancer.

A lot of people start their day with a large glass of water with lemon to help awaken the digestive system.  These little bites are really simple to make and only call for a few ingredients.

If you want to make the lemon taste even stronger, you can add a couple teaspoons of lemon juice as well.  My daughter and I filmed a short video about making these.  Despite an almost tantrum, I’d say things went well.

For more videos, you can check out my You Tube Channel.

Peanut butter and chocolate were just made for each other and these cookie dough bites are delicious!  This is a great recipe to make with your kids too.  My daughter had a lot of fun rolling these into balls and sticking the chips on.

She was also trying to sneak in bites for herself as well.  🙂  I am a big fan of everything no bake.  Who isn’t? 🙂  These are the peanut butter version of my No Bake Cooke Dough Bites.

No Bake Macaroons.  These things are like crack.  You cannot just have one!  I know I said that about the Coconut Cream Larabars too.  If you like those, then you will love these!

Did I mention that these were no bake?  That’s right.  These yummy little treats can be made in just a few minutes.  These are also vegan, gluten free and paleo.

These freeze well too, so feel free to make a big batch and freeze some.  So any time you get a craving for macaroons, there they are in the freezer! Sounds like a plan to me.

High Protein Energy Bites (Vegan)

Melissa King 46 Comments

High Protein Energy Bites that are vegan, gluten free and grain free.  If you have ever made your own nut milk, you know that you are left with a pulp after that almonds have been milked.

I am always looking for ways to use it up.  I came up with some Grain Free Energy Bites in the past.  Here is another high protein energy bite that is also grain free.

If you are looking to get more chia seeds in your diet, this would be one way to do it.  These little bites are low in sugar and packed with good protein and also fiber.

They should keep you full for a while.  These would be good before or after a workout.
