Sturdy and Delicious Super-Seed Granola Bars for Hiking

Our family has a love/hate relationship with our hiking food. When the mood strikes, we want to shove some sustenance into a bag and hit the trail. On the other hand, when we stop to snack after an exhilarating day in the woods, we want to eat something tasty. Something that isn’t GORP. Something that will make us love outdoor life even more. A mixture of dates, almond butter, and honey. Yum! When we first started hiking with kids, we kept the pantry stocked with every type of protein or power bar you can imagine. They were certainly quick and easy, but it didn’t take long before nobody would eat them anymore. The thrill was gone. I started playing around with all kinds of recipes for portable trail bars. Most were too sweet. Many of them fell apart and had to be eaten as crumbs on the trail. And not once did my kids ask me to repeat a recipe.  Until now. Mixing the dry and wet ingredients. Finding the Perfect Granola Bar Recipe I found myself with some free time ...

The coffee cherries are then picked out from poop aka poop cof...
