A delicious, naturally-sweetened protein bar for coconut lovers.
Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 6 Pitted Dates (82g)
  • 2 Scoops MRM All-Natural Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
  • ½ Cup Reduced Fat Unsweetened Dried Coconut Shreds
  • ¼ Cup Raw Cashews
  • Cup Unsweetened Cashew Milk

Instructions

  1. Use food processor to blend 6 dates until it becomes a dough like consistency.
  2. Add all dry ingredients and 1 tsp coconut extract and blend again until dates are mixed throughout.
  3. Add 1 tbs of cashew milk and pulse briefly. Check consistency to see if you can form a dough when pressing mixture together. If not add more cashew milk until a dough can be formed in your hands.
  4. Remove dough from food processor and create a 1 inch thick log like shape on parchment or wax paper.

Notes

  • I highly recommend Let's Do Organics for the reduced fat coconut shreds. You can find them at Whole Foods.
