Fruit and nut bars can be expensive–easily over two dollars for a single serving. These easy “cookie” balls are a perfect replacement, with the protein and healthy fats of almonds to keep you feeling full while the decadence of dates and coconut satisfies a craving for sweet. Lemon ties the mix together for a healthful treat you can enjoy any day.
