Raw Chewy Bars (Vegan Recipe)

Raw Key Lime Coconut Bars



Ingredients

* 1 cup raw cashews
* 1 cup dates
* 1 teaspoon lime zest, Zest before juicing
* 1 Lime, juiced
* 1 cup shredded (dehydrated raw) coconut

Preparation

1. Chop dates to make processing easier. If you don't chop them, they'll likely just spin around whole in your processor. Fun for them, yes. Not helpful for you though.



2. Process the nuts then add dates in a food processor until crumbly. If you want chunky nuts in your chewy bar then process nuts and dates together.

3. Add in lime zest and lime juice to your food processor. Then add the coconut.



4. Press mixture into a glass dish or tightly into plastic wrap in desired shape.

5. Refrigerate for an hour or more to let the flavors combine, and the bars to firm up.

5. Refrigerate for an hour or more to let the flavors combine, and the bars to firm up.
