Ingredients

• Unsweetened shredded coconut – 1 1/2 cups 
• Vanilla – 2 scoops, or you can also choose an unflavored protein powder
• almond butter – 1/2 cup; you can also choose cashew butter
• Honey – 1/4 cup, or you can choose maple syrup instead
• Coconut oil – 1/4 cup, but it should be melted
• vanilla extract – 1 tsp 
• A pinch of salt
• Optional – Dark chocolate chips or cocoa nibs for added richness.

Instructions

Prepare the Mixture – Choose a large mixing bowl. Now combine the shredded coconut, protein powder, almond or cashew butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and simply a pinch of salt in this large bowl. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined. If you add chocolate chips or cocoa nibs, fold them into the mixture to make these fantastic coconut protein bars.

Set in a Pan – Line an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang for easy removal. Transfer the mixture to the pan and press down firmly using the back of a spoon or your hands to create an even layer.

Chill – Place the pan in the refrigerator and set it for at least 2 hours, or until the bars become firm.

Cut and Serve – Once set, lift the mixture using the parchment paper overhangs out of the pan. Using a sharp knife, cut into bars or squares.

Storage – Store the coconut protein bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can enjoy them chilled or relish them at room temperature.
