Nutty, No-Bake Coconut Bars

Serves: 8

Ingredients:
10 dates
1/2 cup pecans
1/2 cup chocolate protein powder (such as Sunwarrior Warrior Blend)

1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips

Directions:
1. Blend dates, pecans, protein powder, and coconut oil in a food processor or blender for 1 minute until smooth, scraping the sides as needed. Remove from blender and mix into a bowl with coconut flakes until coconut is evenly distributed.
