Gather:
- 1 cup packed dates, pitted (deglet nour or medjool)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup roasted unsalted almonds, loosely chopped
- 1/2 cup walnuts, loosely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (gluten free for GF eaters)
- 1/2 t salt
- 1-2 T Berry Bliss Superfood powder
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- optional additions: chocolate chips, other dried fruit, banana chips, vanilla, etc.
Directions:
- Process dates in a food processor until small bits remain (about 1 minute). It should form a “dough” like consistency.
- Optional step: Toast your oats in a 350 degree oven for 15-ish minutes or until slightly golden brown. Otherwise, leave them raw.
- Place oats, almonds, walnuts, dates, cranberries, salt and Berry Bliss in a bowl & set aside.
- Warm maple syrup and coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir and pour over oat mixture and then mix, breaking up the dates to disperse throughout.
- Once thoroughly mixed, transfer to an 8×8 dish or other small pan lined with plastic wrap or parchment paper so they lift out easily. (A loaf pan might work, but will yield thicker bars.)
- Press down until uniformly flattened. Cover with parchment or plastic wrap, and let set in fridge or freezer for 15-20 minutes to harden.
- Remove bars from pan and chop into 10 even bars. Store in an airtight container for up to a few days.
Enjoy!

Coaching for Wellness
Most of us have a general idea of what “coaching” is. This is usually based on our own personal experiences in athletics, training seminars, or even the concept of a “coach” as portrayed in Hollywood. But what is coaching, really?
Dynamic wellness coach Bobby Cappuccio defines coaching as “an evidence-based practice that takes place when a professional helps to give you the resources to achieve your optimal physical, mental, and emotional performance” – regardless of the endeavor.
Most problems have a kind of benefit, perhaps even an unconscious one. This puts the brakes on us sorting our lives out. But if we’re not aware of our hidden thoughts and biases, long term change is unlikely to happen. We will simply adhere to the status quo.
There are essentially five reasons why people are not inspired toward positive action, and these present barriers to peak performance. These barriers can include 1) cognitive dissonance (an internal conflict), 2) reactance (those who reject any kind of authority threatening our freedom of choice), 3) an amygdala response (the primal fear of change), 4) accountability, and 5) unfulfilled needs. We all face these barriers in different combinations at different times – can you think of any that are challenging you right now?
A coach can help you become a leader by helping you move past these barriers and grow into the person you aspire to be. We use the acronym GROW to outline our roadmap to success: Goal, Reality, Opportunity and Will.
By working together we can determine where you want to go in vivid and specific detail (visualization). We also analyze your current reality, and use it as a starting point. We look at what opportunities and resources are at your disposal. And finally, what are you willing to do first – how can we achieve your priorities today? Let’s take that first step.
