When a snack looks this good, you’d be forgiven for thinking that there’s no way it could be part of a healthy eating plan.
But this Raspberry Coconut Slice is actually packed with healthy ingredients such as nuts, dates and coconut, so you can enjoy it as part of the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge.Â
A big thank you to 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge member Cassie for sending this gorgeous recipe in to us.
