Notes

These bars can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for about 5-7 days. They can also be frozen for up to a month—just thaw in the fridge before serving. For variations, consider adding crushed nuts or coconut flakes, or for tartness, a splash of lemon juice in the strawberry puree.
