So gather ‘round, all of my fellow No Bake Lovers’. I have something truly special for you. Yep, I said it. No Bake. Coconut Protein Bites. Woot woot! They are just the perfect way to kick of a sweet week, full of easy wins. (Here’s hoping!)

These coconut bites are made with just 8 ingredients, including: coconut butter, coconut oil, coconut, blueberries, honey, cashews and protein powder. The almond flour and protein powder is really the trick to keeping these babies together. I have kicked out all the junk involved in traditional coconut cookie type recipes and replaced them with only the good stuff. So…

This recipe is the perfect treat if you love coconut like I do. There is 3 different types of coconut products in this recipe. And that’s a good things as I’m obsessed with coconuts, they are my favorite ingredient in desserts and healthy snacks.

The world is going coconuts. Following the popularity of coconut water, a broad spectrum of foods derived from the humble coconut is available. It now comes in a variety of forms from water to milk, cream, butter, oil, flour and shredded allowing for a variety of creative ways to add coconut to a healthy diet.

Coconut contains a unique type of medium chain saturated fat called lauric acid that research shows raises HDL or “good” cholesterol levels, which lowers overall heart disease risk.

As a plant food, coconuts also contain disease-fighting phytochemicals or antioxidants. Research suggests that coconut products helps boost metabolism which is helpful if excess body fat needs to be lost.

Just one scoop of coconut oil or butter delivers a wide-range of healing properties. Produced in its most natural state, coconut oil will benefit you, your children and your pets. I put some into my dogs dinner regularly.

Whether you have chronic fatigue, weight problems, digestive or skin issues, or just want to give your body a good cleanse and boost your energy, coconut in any of its forms is so good for you.

People trying to reduce their sugar intake often complain about the lack of sweets in their quest to get healthier. That’s because a low-carb way of eating is very focused on eliminating harmful sugar from your diet. But there are options for that lingering sweet tooth in your life.

Hence these no-bake coconut protein bites are both low-carb and packed with healthy fats and antioxidants. Eating more healthy fats is a great way to help satisfying your sweet cravings without the sugar. Not only are these coconut treats insanely delicious and easy to prepare, they also comes with some surprising health benefits. From vitamins and minerals to plenty of healthy fats that support hormone health and neurotransmitter production, these little delights are the perfect addition to any healthy eating plan.

One little protein bite makes me happy in an instant. It’s soft and chewy and you are going to love this superfood candy. These little delights are really addictive. They are like the inside of a Mounds bar, but a whole lot healthier! Have some fun with these: try adding some extras like chopped buts, cocoa powder, or toasted coconut. Add in some chocolate chips or freeze dried fruit or dip or drizzle with dark melted chocolate for a special occasion. Or top with sprinkles for a party.

Regardless of how you make this recipe you own, its a simple and delicious way to incorporate the amazing health benefits of coconut into your lifestyle, as its bursting with nutrition and good stuff.
