The answer is: It depends! Sometimes date bars are loaded with sugar and fat, and are more like a dessert than a healthy treat. But this delicious recipe is packed with health benefits. Here's what makes these bars so good for you! 1) Vitamins and Nutrients: Macadamia nuts are heart healthy and a good source of dietary fiber, protein, manganese and copper. Almonds are high in fiber, protein, Vitamin E and Magnesium. And dates contain calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and zinc! 2) Healthy Fats: Nuts are a great source of heart healthy fats, since most of the fat in nuts is a combination of Omega 3 fats and monounsaturated fat. 3) No Added Sugar: These healthy date bars are naturally sweet thanks to the dates, and require no added sugars to make them feel like a decadent dessert.
