Some flavors are just meant to go together. Chocolate and strawberries, avocado and lime, bacon and more bacon – the list goes on. Add one more to that list: lemon and coconut. It all started as a happy accident, after throwing a Lemon Cookie Collagen Bar into a gym bag and forgetting about it until the next day. When discovered, the bar had sadly broken into a few pieces. Normally, one might just eat it anyway, but this bar was destined for something special. Spoiler alert: it was the food processor.
When you think of a classic energy bite or ball, the typical ingredients include peanut butter, oatmeal, dates and a host of other Red Zone choices. This recipe eliminates all non-Bulletproof ingredients, kicks up the fat a notch with a spoonful of Brain Octane Oil, and provides a healthy, packable, fun alternative to an already amazing snack.
