Ingredients
  

1 cup raw almonds

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup pitted Medjool dates

1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

1/4 cup almond butter

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp sea salt

Optional: 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs for added flavor

Instructions
 

Prepare the Almonds: Begin by placing the raw almonds into a food processor. Pulse them until they are finely chopped, ensuring they retain some texture—avoid grinding them into a flour-like consistency.

    Add Dates and Coconut: Incorporate the pitted Medjool dates and the unsweetened shredded coconut into the food processor. Pulse again until all ingredients are combined into a sticky mixture that holds together when pressed.

      Mix in the Wet Ingredients: Pour in the maple syrup (or honey), almond butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Blend everything together until you achieve a thick, cohesive dough. It should be sticky but well combined.

        Add Optional Ingredients: If you are opting to include dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs, gently fold them into the mixture using a spatula, being careful not to crush them too much.

          Shape the Cubes: Line a small square or rectangular baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal. Transfer the almond mixture into the dish and press it down firmly to create an even layer, ensuring it is tightly packed.

            Freeze: Transfer the dish to the freezer and let it set for at least 2-3 hours, or until the mixture is completely firm.

              Cut into Cubes: Once fully frozen, carefully remove the block from the dish using the parchment paper. Cut it into bite-sized cubes or bars, depending on your desired serving size.

                Store: Place the energy cubes in an airtight container and store them in the freezer for quick and easy access. These delicious treats can last for up to 2 months.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Whenever you need a quick energy boost, simply grab a cube! These Frozen Almond Coconut Energy Cubes are ideal as a pre-workout snack or a nutritious dessert.
