Blend together dates, lemon juice, almond butter, zest.
In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, coconut, protein powder, salt.
Add the wet to the dry ingredients and mix well. If mixture is too dry, add a little of the date water, or almond milk. This will be slightly sticky, but you should be able to roll a ball at this stage, or press mixture between two pieces of plastic wrap.
I wanted bars, so I put it in between plastic wrap and pressed into a rectangle shape, on a cutting board. Stick the pressed out dough into freezer for 30 minutes before slicing into bars. Wrap individually as shown for easy grab and go protein bars.
Store in freezer.
