Paleo Coconut Date Brazil Nut Bars
My girlfriend two Christmas’s ago made some date bars for me. This was the second year that she dropped them off and I was obsessed and so badly wanted to recreate them! Now, I LOVE coconut and I absolutely love dates but they haven’t always LOVED me back. With SIBO, it was tricky because they are high fodmap so I slowly added them back over the past year I’m able to eat 1 date or 1 bar per day without have symptoms! Win!
My husband and I love a sweet treat once in a while. These fit the bill. This is a perfect healthy snack bar for an active lifestyle. My husband takes them on his long bike rides which shows just how portable they are. They provide massive fuel too!
