🌄 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

  1. Pop all the ingredients into a food processor and blend until the mixture becomes smooth, sticky, and well combined.

  2. Press the mixture firmly into a lined 1lb loaf tin, making sure to smooth the top.

  3. Freeze for at least 1 hour — overnight works brilliantly if you prefer a firmer texture.

  4. Once set, let the block soften slightly at room temperature, then slice into 8 bars.

  5. 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.
