I love making no bake bars, because they are a total instant gratification food. Just a few minutes in the food processor, and you're totally done.

Plus, since you're not baking them, you don't need a lot of oil or sugar. Just pure oats, nuts, fruit, and a little bit of sweetener. This bar is packed with fiber, protein, good fats, and antioxidants.

You will need a fairly hardcore food processor to make these bars. I use a little mini food processor for them, but I have to be gentle. They definitely put your food processor to the test!

Antioxidant Oatmeal Granola Bars

1 cup rolled oats

2 dates

1/4 cup raisins

1/4 cup almonds

1/4 cup mixed berries (I used Navitas Naturals Organic Goji Berry, Mulberry And Goldenberry Mix )

2 tablespoons agave nectar

1 tablespoon dried coconut

1 tablespoon cacao nibs

Process the oats until they become a powder. Process in the agave nectar. Add remaining ingredients one at a time, processing until they stick to the mixture.

Pour and press the mixture into a pan. Refrigerate for an hour before serving.

Variations: This recipe is definitely just a guide. Play around with it! Substitute dark chocolate chips for cacao nibs. Try using walnuts instead of almonds. Add a drop or two of your favorite extract.
