2 Cup Dried Pineapple
2 Tbsp Water
1 Scoop (30g) Whey Protein Powder
2 Tsp Vanilla Extract

Directions

Combine ¾ of the coconut and coarsely chopped macadamia nuts into a medium bowl.

Combine the dried pineapple and water into a small microwave safe bowl and heat for 20 seconds.

Remove and allow to cool enough to handle.

Add the reconstituted pineapple to a food processor and pulse into a paste.

Add the pineapple paste to the coconut and macadamia nuts along with the protein powder, vanilla, and honey.

Place in the refrigerator to set for a few minutes.

Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
