Chocolate Protein Base
In a bowl, mix almond flour, chocolate protein powder, and cocoa powder. Add nut butter, honey and almond milk. Stir until a thick, fudgy dough forms. Press evenly into the base of the pan. Place in the freezer while you prepare the next layer.

Chill in the fridge for 1–2 hours until fully set.Once firm, remove from the pan and slice into 8-10 bars. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months.
