Primal Protein Packed Bars

Prior to eating Primal/Paleo I would come home from the gym and guzzle a glass of chocolate milk.... nothing like a huge dose of high fructose sugar :)

So after changing my diet I was struggling to find post workout snacks that wasn't just nuts or sweet potatoes. Through Mark's Daily Apple I found a great recipe for an excellent protein snack (also can be a tasty treat).

What you'll need:

1c hazelnuts
1c almonds
1 1/2c pecans
2/3 flax meal
2/3c shredded coconut( unsweetened)
1/4c unsalted almond butter
1/4c melted coconut oil
 1 1/2tsp black molasses-- I used Honey instead
dash of salt

**optional- dark chocolate (85% coca)


Mix all in a food processor minus the coconut oil. Once all mixed together slowly add melted oil and you'll notice it will turn more thick like a paste.

In a pan line with parchment paper and press all of paste evenly in pan. Add it to the fridge for at least an hour and ENJOY!!!
