If you are a fan of the classic Bounty bar, you are going to love this fruity twist.
These Raspberry Bounty Protein Bars combine a creamy coconut filling with bursts of raspberry flavour from a layer of homemade chia jam, all wrapped in a rich dark chocolate coating. They are sweet, slightly tart, satisfyingly chewy, and packed with protein to help keep you feeling full and energised.
Think of them as a cross between a Bounty bar, a raspberry truffle, and a protein snack. The best part? They are completely no-bake and made with simple ingredients you can feel good about eating.
At Blended Bites, that is exactly what we are aiming for – treats that feel indulgent but are made with ingredients that nourish your body at the same time.
Why You Will Love These Bars
There is something magical about the combination of raspberry, coconut, and chocolate.
The coconut provides a creamy, rich base.
The raspberry jam add brightness and natural sweetness.
The dark chocolate brings everything together with a delicious snap.
It is a flavour combination that feels both nostalgic and a little bit special.
Unlike many store-bought chocolate bars, these protein bars contain ingredients that actually contribute something nutritionally. They are loaded with healthy fats, fibre, and protein, making them far more satisfying than traditional candy bars. Which means you can enjoy one and move on with your day instead of immediately craving another.
The Importance Of Protein
Protein is not just for athletes.
It is one of the most important nutrients for:
✔ Supporting muscle repair
✔ Helping you stay fuller longer
✔ Balancing blood sugar
✔ Reducing cravings
✔ Supporting healthy energy levels
Many sweet snacks are mostly sugar and carbohydrates, which often leads to an energy spike followed by a crash. Adding protein changes the game.
When protein is combined with healthy fats and fibre, digestion slows down, helping you feel satisfied for much longer. That is why these Raspberry Bounty Protein Bars work so well as an afternoon snack, post-workout treat, or healthier dessert.
Perfect For
🍫 Healthy dessert
💪 Post-workout snack
☕ Afternoon coffee companion
🎁 Homemade edible gifts
✨ Freezer treats
Because they are rich and satisfying, a little goes a long way.
Why These Taste So Indulgent
The secret is balance.
You have:
✔ Rich chocolate
✔ Creamy coconut
✔ Bright raspberry flavour
✔ Protein
✔ Healthy fats
✔ Fibre
Each ingredient contributes something both nutritionally and flavour-wise. The result is a treat that feels decadent enough to satisfy a sweet craving but nourishing enough to fit into everyday life.
And honestly, that is what Blended Bites is all about.
Not eliminating treats.
Not chasing perfection.
Just creating better versions of the foods we already love. ✨

Ingredients
Coconut Cream Filling
- 2 cups desiccated coconut
- 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 cup coconut cream
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Raspberry Chia Jam
- 2 cups raspberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Line a 7 x 5-inch loaf pan or dish with parchment paper on the bottom and sides leaving some overhanging to act as a handle to get the bars out easier for cutting. Or use a silicon bar mold.In a medium bowl, combine shredded coconut, protein powder and sea salt. Add coconut cream, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla.Mix until everything comes together into a thick, slightly sticky mixture.Press into the lined pan in an even layer. Freeze while you make the jam.
Raspberry Chia Jam
- Place the berries and maple syrup in a pan and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the chia seeds, mix well and stand for 15 minutes then mash up.Spread this over the base in an even layer and freeze for 1 hour.Remove from the freezer then slice into 8-10 bars then freeze for a further 30 minutes/1 hour.
Chocolate Coating
- Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.Remove bars from pan using the parchment paper handles and cut into 8-10 bars or pop out of molds. Working quickly, using two forks, dip one bar at a time into the bowl of melted chocolate until it is fully coated. Lift the bar from the bowl of chocolate and let any excess drip off, then place it onto a tray lined with baking paper. Repeat with the remaining bars.Or hold each one with a fork over the melted chocolate and spoon it over letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired, then chill until chocolate has set.Store chilled in fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months.Blended Bites Tips 💡Use full-fat coconut cream for the creamiest texture.White chocolate protein powder works beautifully in this recipe.Add a tablespoon of collagen peptides for an extra protein boost.Store in the freezer for a firmer, candy-bar-like texture.Sprinkle extra freeze-dried raspberry crumbs over the chocolate before it sets.
