How to Prepare Lemon, Coconut, and Apricot Bars [Vegan, Grain-Free, Raw]

  1. Blend base ingredients in your food processor until a sticky cookie dough type texture forms, then press mixture into a lined baking tray and put in the freezer.
  2. Blend topping ingredients until super creamy (there shouldn't be any cashew lumps whatsoever when you're finished). If your processor is not that strong, scrape down the lid and sides of your machine one or two times and blend again to remove any last lumps. Pour on top of base and spread evenly.
  3. Sprinkle with coconut and put in the freezer overnight.

  1. This recipe is not "raw", because the recipe calls for Coconut nectar.

    Here is why…

    For a food to be considered "raw", some experts state it can not be heated up past 104°F – 120°F. Coconut nectar or syrup, is produced by slowly heating this sap between 105°F – 250°F (or more depending on the company) for a period of time between 1.5 – 3 hours to thicken it into syrup. This process also causes the sap to deepen in color.
