Strawberry Cereal Bars

1. Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment or lightly grease with some coconut oil. Set aside.
2. Combine the cashew butter and maple syrup in a small saucepan and bring to a slow rolling boil.
3. While the cashew butter and maple syrup are thickening, process the freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor until slightly powdery but some larger chunks remain. Add the strawberries to a medium sized bowl along with the unsweetened Lovebird Cereal.
4. Once the cashew butter and maple syrup has thickened, add the vanilla extract and stir for about two minutes. Pour the cashew caramel mixture over the strawberries and cereal and mix.
5. Pour the cereal bar mixture into the 8x8 baking pan and gently press the bars into an even layer. Cover the cereal bars, place them in the refrigerator, and allow them to sit for about an hour. Cut and enjoy!

You guys, I haven't been so excited about a food! It is not easy to find foods, especially breakfast cereal, that is compliant with my diet! Lovebird Cereal is my new favorite go-to snack. Lovebird has three varieties: cinnamon, honey, and unsweetened. The cereal is made with simple ingredients like cassava, coconut and is naturally sweetened with honey. In addition to being made with real, wholesome ingredients, Parker, the owner, donates 20% of sales to help the fight against pediatric cancer.

Twenty percent (20%) of net profit from the sale of all Lovebird products is given to nonprofits in support of charitable programming and research in the fight against pediatric cancer.

While I recommend consuming these cereal bars within the first few days, they can be covered with plastic wrap or stored in a glass container in the refrigerator for up to three days. I do not recommend freezing them as they will become soggy.
