I could only find a small package in the store and they were meant more as snacks. I never thought of maple syrup, I may have to try a batch with that as well. They were delicious either way. I'm lucky they lasted until breakfast this morning. When James got home and I told him what I had made, he immediately had to try a few :-)Maria DeCiccohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695349025922203182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566478906256451816.post-54447612663043730452011-06-12T21:55:26.788-04:002011-06-12T21:55:26.788-04:00Hey Maria!

If I had run into the problem I would've probably added maple syrup, but honey works too (no worries about it not being vegan!). Hope you enjoy your breakfast tomorrow!Sara D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00755758795012420476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566478906256451816.post-92205242177332970182011-06-12T20:39:56.564-04:002011-06-12T20:39:56.564-04:00These sounded so good that I couldn't wait to ...These sounded so good that I couldn't wait to make them! Mine weren't really sticking together despite adding more dates, so I added some honey to help that out. (I know honey's not vegan, sorry!) These bars are delicious! They're currently in the fridge chilling and I can't wait to have one for breakfast tomorrow :-) Thanks for the awesome recipe.Maria DeCiccohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695349025922203182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566478906256451816.post-13302477516757142552011-06-11T14:39:56.370-04:002011-06-11T14:39:56.370-04:00Spinach smoothies don't sound nasty at all.

I do need to get back into that, especially now that summer's here and fresh local fruit is more plentiful. Austin will actually drink those smoothies if I make them (and clean the blender), so I'll add them to our summer breakfast rotation.

Something I like to make when I have a little more time are spinach smoothies. I know it probably sounds and looks kinda nasty, but they're delicious. A friend of mine had started making them based on a smoothie she got at a vegan/organic breakfast place here in Atlanta. Basically it's some mango, a bit of pineapple juice, and a bunch of spinach with a few ice cubes, blend until smooth and delicious. I've swapped out mango for strawberries as well - makes the color a little funny but just as delicious!Gennoreply@blogger.com
