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: Start by placing the raw almonds in a food processor. Pulse them until they become finely chopped but not a flour-like consistency. This ensures a bit of texture in your energy cubes.

    Add Dates and Coconut: Add the pitted Medjool dates and the shredded coconut to the food processor. Pulse again until everything is well combined. You should achieve a sticky mixture that holds together when pressed.

      Mix in the Wet Ingredients: Add the maple syrup (or honey), almond butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the mixture in the food processor. Blend until everything is fully incorporated and you have a thick, sticky dough-like consistency.

        Add Optional Ingredients: If you are choosing to add dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs, fold them in at this point using a spatula to avoid breaking them down too much.

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

            Freeze: Place the dish in the freezer and let it set for at least 2-3 hours, or until completely firm.

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

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

                  Serve and Enjoy: Grab a cube whenever you need a quick energy boost! These Frozen Almond Coconut Energy Cubes are perfect as a pre-workout snack or a healthy dessert.
