Over the last couple of years, a range of healthy little snack bars has been inching its way into our everyday lives. Nakd bars (or Larabars as they’re known in the US) bridge that gap in the sweet treat on-the-go market between an apple and a chocolate bar. They’re small but mighty, packed with energy in the form of good fats and natural sugar, and despite their hippy credentials are now available to buy in supermarkets and service stations all over the country.



Ever since I first made Green Kitchen Stories Hemp Protein Bars a year or two ago, I’ve been a fan of homemade bars like these. You know exactly what’s going into them and can mix it up with different protein powders, spices, nuts and seeds. You can also cut them larger than the ones you can buy in the shops if you’re feeling greedy and although I’ve not done a cost analysis, I’m pretty sure it’s cheaper to make your own as well.

Recently Carnivorous Husband has been on a Nakd Cashew Cookie kick. As Nakd helpfully give the percentage of ingredients on the back, I had the recipe for this homemade version in seconds. Although I usually find it hard to resist the urge to tweak a recipe, adding a little bit of spice, some salt or a scrape of lemon zest, I wanted to stay true to Luke’s favourite snack so here it is in all its two ingredient glory. Enjoy.
