Homemade Protein Bars

Heat 3/4 cup almond butter, 2 tablespoons coconut oil, 1/4 cup honey, vanilla and salt in a saucepan over low heat. Mix together until well combined and smooth, then remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in protein powder (I used @heatperformance collagen) and a pinch of salt until smooth, then fold in 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and 2 tablespoons shredded coconut. Place in a 8x4 inch loaf pan lined with parchment paper.

Add 1/3 cup dark chocolate chunks and 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a small saucepan and place over low heat until melted. Spread over the tops of the bars, then sprinkle with sea salt, chopped almonds and shredded coconut.

Place in fridge for 30 minutes-1 hour before removing from pan and cutting into 9 bars. Store bars in fridge tightly wrapped or in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
