These lemon and poppy seed slices are the perfect afternoon snack when you crave something sweet yet refreshing. They also make a yummy dessert if you are looking for something easy to make and full of whole foods. The base for these slices are cashews, coconut and dates so they are pretty wholesome yet still has a nice sweetness to them.
Another tip is to bring these to your picnics this summer as a treat. Simply wrap them up in some paper or pack them up in a container and enjoy al fresco. If you want more picnic food tips check out this video where you can also see me make these slices. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup raw cashew nuts

Malin, if I want to make these for a group of girls coming over, can I make them the day ahead? If so, how do I store them until we are ready to eat them? In the refrigerator or the freezer? Or out at room temperature?
Thanks so much for you help.

Hi Deb,
These are best kept in the freezer in general but you can also pop them in the fridge for an hour or so before your friends come over to make sure they are not too cold when you eat them. They are good still cold or kept at room temperature for a little while before eating, the latter will make them more soft though and then they’re better eaten with a fork so your guests don’t get too sticky 🙂 Hope you have a lovely gathering!
