If you’re looking for a healthy treat for your family you’re in luck. These coconut berry bars are easy to make and taste fantastic!

This recipe is pretty flexible. You can add your favorite fresh or frozen fruits (or even veggies) to make a healthy coconut snack for the family. You can also add your favorite super-foods to the mix for extra nutrition! I added maca powder for energy and hormone balancing.
