Instructions
- Over low heat, add coconut oil and cacao butter to a pan and stir until melted.
- Turn off the heat, then add cacao nibs, cacao powder, almond butter, maple syrup, and chia seeds to the pan and mix.
- Remove the mixture from the pan and add it to a mixing bowl.
- Turn the heat back on to medium, then lightly roast the coconut flakes for 30-60 seconds, stirring often, then remove from heat and add it to the same mixing bowl.
- Add the nuts to the heated pan and roast for 1-2 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the dates, goji berries, lemon zest, seat salt, protein powder, and nuts to the mixing bowl.
- Pour the protein bar mixture into a food processor and blend for approximately 30 seconds.
- Add parchment paper to a 5 x 9 baking dish and press all the ingredients with your hands to form one big layer of protein bar.
- To make the mixture take the form of a rectangle, remove the mixture and parchment paper from the baking dish. Pack the mixture with a knife to compact everything together and form tight edges.
- Place the protein bar mixture in the fridge for 1-2 hours or as long as it takes for the mixture to solidify. I tried at the 30 minute mark and the mixture was still crumbly so it wasn't solid enough yet. I then put it back in the fridge overnight for 12 hours. When I checked it in the morning, it was the perfect consistency for a protein bar.
- Cut into 6 protein bars and sprinkle with coconut flakes to make them look pretty for your Instagram photo 🙂
