How to make Dream Bar Smoothie Recipe - remember dream bars? The sweet, gooey, and coconut-rich treats often included in holiday cookie tins? As a child, the tins gifted to our family would include only one or two dream bars among the tasty bunch, and my three brothers and I would fight over who would get a bite of the tantalizing treat. today, I no longer have to elbow my way through sibling rivalry to relish in dream bar decadence. I just blend up ingredients reminiscent of the dessert, and because the ingredients are super nutritious, I don’t feel the least bit guilty! This smoothie is sweetened with sugary dates, which happen to be high in fiber. The fiber staves off hunger and keeps your bowels happy. Coconut butter helps burn calories from its high percentage of medium-chain fatty acids, and coconut water not only sweetens naturally, it also hydrates. Pecans contribute to this smoothie’s classic dream bar taste and are rich in plant sterols, known for their cholesterol-lowering ability.

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon (16 g) coconut butter
4 pitted medjool dates
1 tablespoon (7 g) pecans

1 teaspoon unsweetened shredded coconut

In a blender, combine the coconut butter, dates, pecans, vanilla, coconut milk, and coconut water.
