Lemon Coconut Energy Bars

Vegan_Chick

I was in the mood for something lemony so I compiled these ingredients and came up with an amazing energy bar. I love the lemon flavor and want to share with you the recipe. I take these mountain biking with me fore energy and my kids take them in their lunches. They are super healthy, easy to make (no bake) and have lots of omega 3's in them. I hope you enjoy!
