I love the burst of fresh fruity flavours in this recipe. You can pick your own berries and make this recipe as a family. Emily loves strawberries and I love blueberries. So we each like to grab a handful of each and make this into a fun Mother-Daughter baking time!

This is one of my star recipes. It just makes me want to yell out “BOMBA! BOMBA!” Why? Because it’s a bomb of fruity flavors that will delight your taste buds. Go out and pick your own ber- ries, and make this recipe as a family. It’s a hit, guaranteed!

Mériane Labrie, a busy mother and marathon runner, was on the hunt for 100% healthy energizing snacks that would fuel her up before a workout and also satisfy her sweet tooth. Frustrated by her fruitless search for a truly healthy snack, she decided to take matters into her own hands and have a go at making yummy treats of her own. Finally, after much trial and error, her first energy cookie was born! The secret, she found, is swapping out sugar for a magical homemade date puree, combining it with either nonfat plain yogurt or unsweetened applesauce, and then adding natural flavors. Inspired, she kept going to develop healthy snacks for the whole family and then shared her recipes online at MadameLabriski.com, to the joy of her thousands of readers and fans.
In Fuel Your Day! she shares her favorite recipes for healthy energy-filled, high-fibre treats with no added sugar or fat.
