Coconut Almond Butter Chicken

I dont know if you guys saw the other almond butter chicken, but this one is much easier and better I think.
Ingredients:
1 chicken breast sliced in cubes
Trader joes frozen mixed veggies in butter sauce
1-2 cups of raw spinach
1-2 T of almond butter
any other veggies you want to add
1/4 cup of coconut milk
Heat coconut oil in nonstick cooking pan. Add frozen veggies and chicken and cook for a few minutes stirring occasionally. Pour in coconut milk, lower heat and cover. Simmer for 8-10 minutes (whenever chicken is cooked through). Add almond butter and spinach and stir constantly until evenly mixed in. You can also add coconut flakes to it which makes it even more delicious!

Delicious Paleo Energy Bars
Wow I can't believe I forgot to take a pic of these, I think because my crossfit team demolished them so fast haha. I'll make them again and post one up.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup pecans
1/4 cup almond or sesame seed meal
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup almond butter
1/4 cup coconut oil (check your local health food store)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 Tablespoon of honey
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup dried fruit of your choice
On a cookie sheet, toast nuts and shredded coconut until golden brown.
Once toasted, pour mixture into a food processor (I used a blender) and pulse until nuts are chopped and the mixture becomes coarsely ground.
In a mixing bowl, melt coconut oil and almond butter (about 20 seconds). Remove from microwave and stir until smooth.
Add vanilla extract, honey and sea salt. Mix thoroughly.
Fold in nut mixture and almond (or sesame seed) meal until mixed thoroughly.
Fold in dried fruit.
Press mixture into an 8 by 4 loaf pan.
Refrigerate for an hour or as long as you want.
Cut “loaf” width wise. Should make 6 good-sized bars.
Enjoy! (or, if you don’t plan to eat immediately, you can store the bars in the refrigerator, covered loosely with a paper towel and plastic wrap.
