What makes these Bars so healthy?

So, Rx bars have just a few simple ingredients, no preservatives, no sugar, and still pretty dang good. In our recipe, we had to use some coconut oil to help hold the bars together, and I have to say, I think ours taste even better because of it! Plus, coconut oil has a myriad of health benefits as we’ve all been hearing for the past few years.

Simple Ingredients for homemade Rx Bars

  • Egg white powder – the only tricky ingredient to find at a reasonable price and quantity. However, I lucked out on Amazon and found it at a great price, quality and quantity. The great thing about egg white powder is it can be added to smoothies, snuck into your kids food, or even used to create cookie icing! I know, right?!
  • Nuts – This copycat Rx bars recipe calls for Almonds and Cashews, but you can use whichever combination of nuts you prefer. I buy large bags of nuts at Sam’s Club or Costco. I’ve never found a price anywhere else that can beat em’.
  • Dates – I also buy my dates at Sam’s Club. They sell a giant tub of them for under $10. I can make multiple recipes with one tub! I love the natural sweetness! The sticky texture is so great for bars, energy bites and granola bars or a snack.

How to make copycat Rx Bars

In a food processor blend the first 5 ingredients until it resembles a fine crumble.

Add the coconut oil and stir until it forms a ball in your fist. If it’s too dry, feel free to slowly add coconut oil a little at a time until you get the consistency you like.

I always add mini chocolate chips on top in order to be sure the kids will actually consume them. We all know they’ll eat anything that looks or smells like chocolate. Of course I don’t blame them. I’m the same.

No baking necessary

Best part? No baking necessary! Just refrigerate these copycat Rx bars until firm (at least 1 hour). Slice into 2″x4″ inch bars. I like to wrap them up individually in a bit of wax paper so I can just grab and go as needed.
