In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened almond butter and coconut oil. If the almond butter is tough to mix, slightly warm it in the microwave for a few seconds to soften.
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, almond flour, chocolate protein powder, and stevia or preferred low-carb sweetener to the mixture.
Stir in the vanilla extract, chia seeds, and unsweetened almond milk until well combined. The mixture should be thick and moldable.
Gently fold in the slivered almonds, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion the mixture into individual bites, placing each scoop onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate the protein bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up, or until they are set.
Once solidified, store the protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for extended storage.
