My homemade Larabar recipe was so popular a couple weeks ago that I thought I should post another snack bar recipe—and the timing was just right. My husband and I spent last weekend up in Maine and had every intention of heading out on one of our favorite hikes on Sunday.

I've been trying to eat as much raw as possible lately, which usually translates to lots of salads. It's easy to throw a bunch of chopped raw veggies and fruits into a big bowl, toss with a killer homemade dressing, and call it a lunch or dinner.

I'm not a huge fan of meal-replacement or snack bars—most are heavily processed with junky ingredients. Even the "healthy" ones are riddled with sketchy additives, isolates, and sweeteners.
