Coconut Date Bars

     

The on-the-go, travel-light snack bar. Derived from a famous raw food bar and the ultimate in ‘foodie!’ This is a great snack for the active lifestyle and impressive to hand out to others. As an outdoor professional I take these in the back country and they need not be refrigerated and give great energy. Cut into bars and enjoy or wrap individually for on the go.
