Half-way there!

I can't believe I was half-way through at this point! I have a sweet treat recipe below that really helped me through my last 15 days!

Day 15, July 9th

10:30 - apple and almond butter
12:00- salad (hardboiled egg, avocado, pepper, onions, and tomatoes, evoo, vinegar). 16 oz of water.
3:00 - apple and almond butter. 16 oz of water.
4:00 -  home made “Lara” date bar.
8:00- Sautéed Chicken (cooked in Coconut Oil), with guacamole (chopped avocado, tomatoes, cilantro, onions), asparagus (cooked in evoo). 12 oz of water  (meal pictured below!)

Home-made Paleo Lara Bars!
This is a paleo modification of a recipe I saw on “100 days of Real Food” blog.

1 cup of medjool dates (pitted)
1 cup of raw cashews
¼ cup of almond butter (no sweeteners in almond butter)
1 tablespoon of water

Combine all in food processor and run until mixture is finely chopped and mixture starts to stick together.  If it looks dry add another tablespoon of water.

Remove from food processor; pick up date mixture and using your hands work to squeeze it together into one big clump.

Mash it down on a cutting board or sheet of wax paper to form into one even rectangle shape using the sides of your hands (or a knife) to make the edges straight.

Slice into 12 even squares.  For best results store in the fridge, although bars can be kept at room temperature.

These are so delicious and really got me through my sweets cravings at the half way point.  However, these are really nut heavy, so eat in moderation!

Can't wait to share the reaminder of my 30 day challenge with y'all!   - xoxo , Sarah
