Chop dates into small pieces and add to mixture one at a time so they don't clump together. Pulse until the dates are well incorporated. Add melted coconut oil, and pulse to blend. This should create a sticky crust. Add more salt if necessary. Pour 3/4 of mixture into square 7x7 pan and press down firmly. Set in fridge along with the remaining 1/4 cup reserved for the top of bars.

In a blender mix together 1 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, 1 cup pitted dates, lemon juice and Perfect Fit. Blend until smooth. Add strawberry mixture to the bowl, along with diced fruit, mix well. Place on top of crust mixture. Pour remaining crust mixture on top and press in. Stick in freezer for 1 hour and cut into squares.
