Coconut Almond Protein Bars

1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed and smooth.

2.Add the shredded coconut, protein powder, chopped almonds, and salt to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are fully combined and a thick dough forms.

3.Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

4.Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the dish.

5.Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to allow it to set and firm up.

6.Once set, lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares or rectangles, depending on your preferred size.

7.Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
