AFFORDABLE WHOLEFOODS – RECIPE OF THE WEEK

A delicious lemony raw slice inspired by Loving Earth. This one was made in house by Kym who said it reminded her of her grandmothers lemon slice as a child….only without the refined sugar. The raw lemon and coconut slice is sweetened with dates and maple syrup.
