Rhubarb & Coconut Sports Bars
Sports bars can be a very useful part of your diet if you take part in prolonged exercise. However, many of the shop bought ones can be expensive and also tend to be quite dry. This recipe uses fresh rhubarb to make deliciously soft bars to give you the energy you need for your sport.
