Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups pitted dates (soaked)
  • 1 cup raw unsalted cashews
  • Juice of one lime
  • Zest of two limes
  • 2 scoops of unflavoured or vanilla protein powder (can use vegan, if desired)
  • 3 tbsp. unsweetened coconut
  • 2 tbsp. chopped unsalted cashews

Instruction

  • Soak dates for at least 20 minutes to soften.
  • Blend cashews in food processor until crumbly but not completely smooth.
  • Add the lime juice, zest and soaked dates. Process until combined and mixture sticks together.
  • Next, add protein powder. Blend until mixture comes together and is mostly smooth. You may need to add a bit of water if the mixture seems too dry. It should be slightly sticky but not too wet.
  • Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Press the mixture evenly into the pan using your fingers or a wet spatula (to prevent sticking).
  • Top with a sprinkle of unsweetened coconut and finely chopped cashews. Press into the mixture gently so that the coconut and cashews adhere to the surface.
  • Place in the freezer for at least a half an hour and cut into 8 bars.
