Almond Power Bars

Ingredients:
2 cups raw almonds
1/2 cup flaxseed meal
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
2 scoops flavored grass fed whey protein powder
1/2 cup raw almond butter
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup coconut oil
8 drops liquid stevia or 3/4 teaspoon stevia powder, to taste
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract (No sugar added - check the label)
8 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted and sweetened to taste with stevia and cinnamon

Instructions:
Place almonds, flax meal, shredded coconut, whey powder, almond butter, and salt in a food processor. Pulse briefly, about 10 seconds. In a small sauce pan, melt coconut oil over very low heat.

Remove coconut oil from stove; stir stevia and vanilla in oil. Add coconut oil mixture to food processor and pulse until ingredients form a course paste. Press mixture into an 8x8 glass baking dish oiled with coconut oil to reduce sticking. Chill in refrigerator for 1 hour, until mixture hardens. In a double boiler, melt chocolate, stirring in stevia and cinnamon. Spread melted chocolate over bars; return to refrigerator for 30 minutes, until chocolate hardens. Remove from refrigerator, cut into bars, and serve.
