No Bake Protein Bars
These are great for a snack or breakfast :) just don't eat too many!!! They are low in carbs but still contain fat and calories. They are delicious so enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 Cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 to 2 Tablespoon Cocoa Powder (if you don't use chocolate protein powder)
Directions:
  1. Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper
  2. Combine Almond/Peanut butter and maple syrup in medium saucepan, melt over low heat (about 2 minutes)
  3. Stir in protein powder, cocoa, and coconut while it is still warm.
  4. Remove from heat, pour into baking dish (it doesn't matter if it doesn't fill the entire dish)
  5. Refrigerate about one hour or until firm
  6. Cut and serve
