]]> We love a good energy bar. The nutritional snack is perfect for those times when you’re on the go and hunger hits, or when that afternoon slump takes hold around 4 p.m. 

Many energy bars rely on sugar that will give you a quick boost but will dissipate just as fast, or they contain nuts and other potential allergens. Luckily, these bars are super easy to make yourself, and can be made vegan and sugar-free.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup sesame seeds
  • ½ cup hemp seeds
  • ½ cup sunflower seeds
  • ½ cup shredded coconut
  • 2 cups pitted dates
  • ½ cup tahini / peanut butter / almond butter
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Add the seeds and coconut to a food processor and blend to a flaky consistency. 
  2. Add in the dates, tahini or nut butter, and sea salt, and process until you have a thick, sticky dough you can easily press together between your fingers. If it seems too crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoons of warm water and process again.
  3. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Press the dough firmly into the pan until it is flat and solid.
  4. Place the pan in the fridge for 30-60 minutes to firm up and then cut into bars.

]]> One of our favorite parts of fall is all of the fun foods that the season brings, and while we enjoy pumpkin spice as much as the next person, apple cinnamon has always held a special place in our hearts. Apple picking is one of our favorite autumn activities, but it also tends to leave us with more apples than we know what to do with. We typically end up searching for recipes to use the fruits of our labor before they go bad, so this year we’ve decided to get creative and round up some drink recipes to utilize our apples in new and unique ways.

Apple Pie Smoothie

This vegan recipe by Eating by Elaine is surprisingly filling and seriously delicious. It includes almonds, chia seeds, and cauliflower for fiber and protein, and each serving contains a whole apple and plenty of cinnamon.

Apple Pie Bourbon Sour

The perfect cocktail to serve at a fall get-together or even as a seasonal signature drink at a wedding, this bourbon-based drink by Pinch Purrfect is bursting with apple flavor from homemade apple pie simple syrup and fresh apple slices used for garnish on top.

Apple Cinnamon Latte

If you’re over the PSL at this point, we highly suggest making this apple cinnamon latte recipe by Butter over Bae. Fresh apples and honey are heated into a warm, sweet syrup that adds a deliciously fun flavor to any cup of coffee.

]]> If you like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain, you have very popular taste. It seems as though the pineapple and coconut cocktail was the most popular drink of the summer, based on findings by analyst company CGA. Data from the company showed the cocktail rocket from 17th to 9th spot on its list of Top 30 cocktails, thanks to an 87% increase in orders over the season. 

If you’re planning to be pool-side, make sure you have a piña colada in hand. Rainstorm optional.

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup pineapple, diced
  • 2 ounces pineapple juice
  • 2 ounces coconut cream
  • 1 ½ ounces white rum
  • 1 ounce dark rum
  • 1 ½ cups ice
  • Pineapple slices

Instructions:

  1. Place the diced pineapple in the freezer, and allow it to freeze for 3 hours. 
  2. Once frozen, add the pineapple to a blender with the juice, coconut cream, white rum, dark rum, and ice. Blend until smooth and frosty. 
  3. Pour the drink into 2 glasses and garnish the rim with pineapple slices.

The viral drink features sparkling mineral water, tequila, and lime, but the Desperate Housewives star has put her own spin on it—using her own tequila, of course—and we think it’s even better. 

Ingredients:

  • 1 bottle Topo Chico
  • 1 ounce Casa Del Sol Blanco Tequila
  • Splash of grenadine
  • Lime wedge
  • Splash of grapefruit juice

Instructions:

  1. Drink some of the Topo Chico so there is space in the bottle to add the other ingredients. 
  2. Pour in the tequila, grenadine, and grapefruit juice.
  3. Stuff in a lime wedge and mix. 
  4. Enjoy!
