While dates, figs, and apricots offer some health benefits, it’s important to manage expectations. Here’s a recipe with a more balanced approach:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup dried dates, pitted and chopped
• 1 cup dried figs, chopped
• 1 cup dried apricots, chopped
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed

• 1/4 cup water or orange juice

Method:

1. In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients (dates, figs, apricots, oats, chia seeds, flaxseed, and cinnamon).
2. Gradually add water or orange juice, mixing until the mixture holds together well. You may need slightly more or less liquid depending on the dryness of your fruit.
3. Form the mixture into bite-sized balls or bars.
4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before enjoying.
