Ingredients
  • 1½ cups oats
  • 1 cup almonds
  • ½ cup whey protein powder
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon iodized sea salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • ⅓ cup agave
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil
  • ¼ cup shredded coconut
Instructions
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a small dry skillet, toast the almonds over medium-low heat until aromatic.
  3. Add oats, toasted almonds, whey protein, cocoa powder, sea salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and chili powder to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times until everything is blended together and the texture resembles wet sand.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the agave and coconut oil (melted and cooled). Add the oat-almond mixture to the bowl and stir everything together until fully coated with the agave-coconut oil mixture.
  5. Stir in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
  6. Use a cookie scoop to measure equal-size bites and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Refrigerate for 15 minutes until the bites are set. Store in the fridge in an air-tight container.
