Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup almond butter, 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, 1/2 cup vanilla whey protein powder, 2 tbsp erythritol sweetener, and 1/4 tsp sea salt. Stir well to combine all dry and wet ingredients evenly.
  2. Step 2: Melt 2 tbsp coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat until fully liquid, about 2 minutes, then pour into the bowl. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes sticky and holds together when pressed.
  3. Step 3: Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and press the mixture firmly into the pan, smoothing the top. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm.
  4. Step 4: Remove from fridge, lift out the slab using parchment paper, and cut into 10 equal logs. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
