Coconut-Date Bars

By west757

Coconut-date bars are a good source of fiber (each has as much as a serving of bran cereal) and potassium.

I was told by my doctor I need to lower my cholesterol, so recipes from now on will be healthy, full of fiber and no processed carbohydrates!

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 pound very soft dates, pitted
