When life gives you lemons… you make raw healthy yummy treats! My mum’s lemons trees are overflowing at the moment, I literally took home 3 large bags full in the weekend. Therefore, I decided it was time to put them to good use! This slice zesty lemon slice is nut free, dairy free, and refined sugar-free, making it perfect for almost everyone!

Lemons are everywhere in winter, so make sure you use them wisely (by making slice). Lemons are well known for being rich in vitamin C, a crucial nutrient which helps support our immune system. This slice also contains lots of healthy fats from the coconut, which is important to keep us satiated between meals, making it the perfect mid-morning or afternoon snack. It’s also a yummy healthy treat to enjoy for dessert!
