Looking for a delicious, nutrient-packed snack that fuels your body and satisfies your sweet tooth? These no-bake date bars infused with ARMRA Arctic Chai Colostrum are the perfect blend of indulgence and wellness. Packed with fiber-rich Medjool dates, protein-dense nuts, antioxidant-rich cacao, and the immune-boosting benefits of colostrum, this recipe is as functional as it is flavorful.
Colostrum is a true superfood, known for its ability to enhance gut health, strengthen the immune system, and promote muscle and tissue repair. Since heat can degrade its bioactive components, these no-bake date bars ensure you’re getting all the benefits without compromise. I personally incorporate colostrum multiple times a day, and these bars are one of my favorite ways to enjoy it.
Ingredients
2 cups Medjool dates, pitted (If they are dry or hard, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain.)
1/4 cup tahini (Adds a creamy, nutty richness.)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (For warmth and depth of flavor.)
1/2 teaspoon salt (Balances sweetness and enhances flavors.)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean powder (Aromatic and naturally sweet.)
1/4 cup cacao nibs (Rich in antioxidants and a satisfying crunch.)
1/4 cup macadamia nuts (Buttery texture and heart-healthy fats.)
1/4 cup pistachios (Earthy, slightly sweet, and nutrient-packed.)
3 packets ARMRA Arctic Chai Colostrum (Boosts gut and immune health while adding a subtle chai flavor.)
2 tablespoons maple syrup (For a hint of natural sweetness.)
2 tablespoons cacao powder (For deep, chocolatey richness.)
Instructions
Pulse the Nutty Base: Start by adding 1/4 cup pistachios, 1/4 cup macadamia nuts, 1/4 cup cacao nibs, and 3 packets of Armra Arctic Chai Colostrum to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is chopped and well combined—but stop before it turns into a fine powder. You want texture here, with little bursts of chai and chocolate in every bite. Set this mixture aside.
2. Blend the Date Mixture: In the same food processor (no need to clean it), add 2 cups pitted Medjool dates, 1/4 cup tahini, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean powder, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 2 tablespoons cacao powder. Pulse until everything comes together into a thick, sticky ball. It might take a minute or two—pause to scrape down the sides if needed.

3. Combine Everything: Add the nut and colostrum mixture back into the food processor with the date blend. Pulse a few more times until it’s fully incorporated. The dough should be evenly combined and still have visible bits of nuts and cacao nibs.

4. Shape the Bars: Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture into the dish and use your hands to press it out evenly, filling the corners and smoothing the top. Don’t worry if it feels a bit oily—that’s just the tahini working its magic.
5. Chill and Slice: Pop the dish into the fridge for a few hours to firm up. I like making these in the evening and letting them set overnight. Once chilled, lift the parchment paper out of the dish and slice into bars—whatever size suits your snacking style.
Tips and Customizations
This recipe is a blank canvas for your preferences. Want a chewier bar? Dial back the nut mixture. Craving more crunch? Keep it as is or even add extra cacao nibs on top (I do this, along with a sprinkle of flaky salt, because I can). You can also:
Mix in shredded coconut if you’re a fan of Almond Joy.
Swap tahini for another nut butter—though tahini’s unique flavor is tough to beat with dates.
Adjust the firmness by tweaking the tahini: less for a softer bar, more for a creamier one.
Skip the cacao powder and nibs if chocolate isn’t your thing.
Storage Tips
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
For longer storage, freeze for up to three months—just let them thaw for a few minutes before eating.
Final Thoughts
These no-bake colostrum date bars are a powerhouse of flavor and nutrition. Whether you need a quick breakfast, a pre-workout boost, or a satisfying afternoon snack, these bars deliver. Plus, the added ARMRA Arctic Chai Colostrum takes their health benefits to the next level, ensuring you’re nourishing your body with every bite.
