Cocoa & Cashew Bars – Vegan, Paleo & Perfect

I’ve been flirting with cashews a lot lately and have fallen head over heels for these little golden nuggets of goodness.

I’ve been using them to make delicious and creamy raw & vegan yogurt. But this time I decided to add them to a bar.

Not only do they add a satisfying crunch and a boost of healthy fats, but they also add a fun zebra-like pattern.

These bars are a breeze to make, and they can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for easy grab-and-go snacking.

I love to pack them in my lunch box or just enjoy them with a warm cup of coffee.

So why don’t you give this miracle bar a try? Add a little extra happiness to your day.
