Ingredients

  • 2 medium limes
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes/shreds
  • 1/2 cup vanilla vegan protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter

Optional toppings:

  • 1 tablespoon white chocolate baking chips melted according to package directions (vegan, as needed)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes/shreds finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest

Instructions

  • Grate enough zest from the limes to measure 2 teaspoons.
  • Halve the limes crosswise and squeeze the juice into a glass measuring cup. Add enough water to the juice to measure 1/2 cup in total.
  • In a food processor, process the coconut until very fine. Add the protein powder, almond butter, lime zest, and lime juice-water mixture. Pulse until mixture is completely blended into a smooth dough.
  • Roll dough into a log and cut into 4 equal pieces. Form each piece into a bar and tightly wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm.
  • Optional topping: If desired, unwrap the bars and drizzle each with melted white chocolate; sprinkle with coconut and lime zest. Refrigerate for 15 minutes until chocolate is set; then re-wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Storage: Store the bars wrapped or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month or freezer for up to 6 months.
Almond butter subs: You can use any smooth nut or seed butter you like in place of the almond butter. These are also amazing with peanut butter.
Notes about protein powder: Protein powders vary, so you may need to add a little bit more protein powder or a few drops of water to achieve a dough consistency. T
