Chewy Paleo "Granola" Bars

I love keeping these no-bake bars in the fridge for a quick breakfast or snack for the boys. They are so easy to make, and are a great raw source of protein. 

What you'll need:

2 cups raw almond

1 cup organic unsweetened coconut flakes

1/2 cup almond butter

6 dates

1/4 cup Grade A/B maple syrup

2 tbsp organic coconut oil

Pinch of sea salt

1/4 Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips -or- any other mixture of your choice

In a food processor add the almond and coconut flakes. Process until you have a coarse crumb mixture. Add in your dates and process until the dates have been thoroughly ground. Next, add coconut oil, almond butter, maple syrup, and sea salt. Process for about 30 seconds-1 minute or until the mixture sticks together. Gently stir in your chocolate chips. Firmly press the mixture in a square 8x8 pan lines with parchment paper for easy removal. Make sure the mixture is firmly packed in. Place pan in the fridge for and hour or two or until firm. Cut the sheet into even bar sizes. Keep in the fridge.
