If you’re craving something sweet and nutty but are on a diet, then these raw bars are for you.
Raw bars are the most ideal way to indulge in the sweetness of fruit and nutty goodness of seeds and nuts.
They’re also high in fiber, protein, and antioxidants.
And they’re so easy to make from pantry staples.
The beauty is that you can whip up a batch of raw bars any time of day.
So whether you want to grab a quick breakfast or a mid-day snack, there’s no wrong time to indulge in them!
Better get started because I’m off to make some!
1. Raw Bar Caesar Salad
Are you looking for a healthy, guilt-free meal?
Try this raw bar Caesar salad.
This light and refreshing dish is simple to make and great for a quick lunch.
It’s loaded with nutritious ingredients: romaine lettuce, avocado, nuts, kale, and fresh herbs.
The creamy dressing brings out the flavors of the ingredients while remaining healthy.
If you love salad but want to avoid eating processed foods (like gluten), give this recipe a try.
2. Raw Bar Chicken
I think this raw chicken salad is the best way to eat chicken for breakfast!
Not only does it incorporate all of your favorite salad ingredients, but you’ll add fruits and veggies too.
If you want something a little more substantial, try the apple and honey dressing.
Or grab some quinoa if you’re craving something light.
3. Raw Bar Avocado Toast
An avocado toast is a great way to start your day.
It’s fresh, light, and super filling.
But what if you don’t have time to cook?
That’s where this recipe comes in!
It’s a raw version that uses an egg yolk for the creamy flavor.
It also has some extra protein from nut butter and fiber from the pita bread.
The whole thing takes only 15 minutes to make.
You can eat it as is, or add whatever toppings you like best.
4. Raw Bar Breakfast Sandwich
If you’re feeling lazy, this raw bar breakfast sandwich is exactly what you need.
It’s simply a hearty blend of scrambled eggs, cheese, and tomatoes.
But it’s also packed with greens and nutrient-rich ingredients that come together in one bowl.
Serve the vegetables for guests to mop up the juices.
Or just spoon them out and enjoy!
5. Raw Bar Veggie Bowl with Quinoa and Broccoli
This veggie bowl is loaded with raw veggies and smooth, creamy quinoa.
It’s just like a salad in the bowl.
The salad-like ingredients are topped with fresh herbs and drizzled with a rich, tangy dressing.
That mix of flavors is what makes this veggie bowl so good!
I suggest you keep the dressing simple if you want it to be vegan friendly.
But if you want it extra yummy, definitely add in some cheese.
6. Raw Bar Sweet Potato Fries
Fries are a great way to add some extra nutrients to your diet, and they’re fun to make at home.
They are also ridiculously tasty.
These raw bar sweet potato fries have a crispy exterior that is delightful.
And the gooey goodness inside makes them a truly irresistible treat.
They’re so good you won’t even want to share!
7. Raw Bar Oatmeal
You’re probably already familiar with raw bar recipes if you’ve ever worked in a restaurant or studied abroad.
These bars are often made from nut butter, yogurt, and honey.
This one is similar to the recipe above, but it uses sliced fruits for added sweetness.
The cinnamon and vanilla provide a nice warm flavor contrast to the fruity notes.
For the best texture, store these bars in an airtight container.
Otherwise, they will start to lose their moisture overnight.
8. Raw Bar Fruit Salad
This raw bar fruit salad is the perfect way to start your day.
The medley of berries, nuts, and seeds is loaded with antioxidants and vitamin E.
Plus, it’s also healthy!
It’s sweet, juicy, crunchy, and bursting with freshness.
Serve this tasty treat as a side dish or even an appetizer.
9. Raw Bar Apple Crisp with Honey, Walnuts, and Cranberries
This is the kind of dessert you can make ahead of time and freeze.
You’ll need to add the dry ingredients to a bowl and whisk them together, then pour into a baking dish.
Add the soaked nuts and dried cranberries right before you bake or else they will burn soft in the oven.
I love the crunch and sweetness of these, but if you don’t have any nut allergies, try using pecans or almonds instead.
10. Raw Bar Banana Bread Muffins
Muffins are always a tasty option to whip up on the weekend.
And these raw banana bread muffins definitely make the list.
They’re light, fluffy, and packed with flavor.
Plus, they’re so easy to prepare.
All you need is seven ingredients – bananas, wheat flour, honey, almond milk, cinnamon powder, vanilla extract, and cayenne pepper.
Best of all, this recipe yields a dozen dense and delicious muffins.
11. Raw Bar Chocolate Chip Cookies
If you’re a cookie lover like me, you’ll love these raw bars of chocolate chip cookies.
Instead of the usual chocolate chips in your cookie dough, you’ll use cocoa powder instead.
The result is even more decadent, and it tastes just as good as the regular kind!
If you want to add some extra crunch, try sprinkling over a few coarse sea salt grains or sea salt flakes.
12. Raw Bar Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
These bars are chocolatey, nutty, and loaded with all the healthy goodness you expect from a cookie bar.
They’re also insanely easy to make.
Just mix the ingredients in a bowl and pop them into the fridge for an hour or so.
Then, come morning when you want your first bite of deliciousness, just slice them out and dig in!
