Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of shredded coconut, 1/2 cup of protein powder, and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar substitute. Stir until well combined.
Pour in 2/3 cup of sugar-free condensed milk into the dry mixture. Use your spatula to mix until everything is fully incorporated. The mixture should be thick and sticky.
Gently fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use the spatula to spread it out evenly and press it down firmly to create a compact layer.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the bars out of the dish and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares or rectangles.

Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.
Customize by adding nuts, seeds, or dried fruits for extra flavor and texture.
Use plant-based protein powder and vegan chocolate chips to make the recipe vegan.
