🌄 Date & Coconut Energy Bars: The Perfect Fuel for Long Walks and Hikes
When you’re heading out on a long walk, a weekend ramble, or a full‑on hike, having a reliable snack in your bag can make all the difference. These Date & Coconut Energy Bars are one of our favourite go‑tos — they’re sweet, chewy, nourishing, and incredibly easy to make. Even better, they require no baking and only three simple ingredients.
Whether you’re prepping for an adventure or just want a wholesome snack ready in the fridge, this recipe fits beautifully into busy days.
🥥 Ingredients
250g soft, stoned dates
50g coconut oil
100g vegan digestive biscuits
👣 Method
Pop all the ingredients into a food processor and blend until the mixture becomes smooth, sticky, and well combined.
Press the mixture firmly into a lined 1lb loaf tin, making sure to smooth the top.
Freeze for at least 1 hour — overnight works brilliantly if you prefer a firmer texture.
Once set, let the block soften slightly at room temperature, then slice into 8 bars.
Enjoy immediately or wrap them up for your next outing. They travel wonderfully and hold their shape on the go.
❄️ Storage
Keep your energy bars in the fridge for up to a week. They stay firm, fresh, and ready whenever you need a quick boost — whether that’s mid‑hike, mid‑commute, or mid‑afternoon slump.
