INGREDIENTS:
- 3 cups shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol/monk fruit blend
- 2 tablespoons Grass-Fed Ghee
- 6 tablespoons Collagen Protein
- 4-6 drops of food-grade peppermint essential oil

CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE INGREDIENTS:
- 2 tablespoons cacao powder
- 3 tablespoons ghee or coconut oil, melted

INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a blender, add shredded coconut and blend on medium to high speed until finely chopped.

- Add the collagen and mix at the lowest speed until just incorporated to avoid damaging proteins.
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, and scoop out the ingredients into the tin.
