Chocolate Coconut {Bounty} Protein Bites

July 1, 2015 By Kerry Cooks 17 Comments

Chocolate Coconut {Bounty} Protein Bites

Chocolate Coconut {Bounty} Protein Bites

Well hello! These no-bake Chocolate Coconut {Bounty} Protein Bites are raw, sugar-free and delicious! They taste literally like a healthy version of a bounty bar, but they’re packed full of protein, fibre and healthy fats, plus they’re naturally sweetened with just a touch of honey (or agarve/maple if you prefer!).

Sometimes you need a real heavy duty snack. The kind that will allow you to get home from work and head straight to the gym without so much as a tummy rumble, PLUS fuel you up for an awesome workout. Or the kind that will allow you to go straight out after work for cocktails without getting TOO tipsy. This my friends, is that snack!

So what’s in them? We’ve got

peanut butter

protein powder

almond milk

cocoa powder

a touch of honey + salt

rolled oats

cinnamon

coconut oil

flaked or dessicated coconut

BUT don’t let my recipe (think of it more as a guide) constrain you – these delicious energy bites are so customisable and easy to tweak. I sometimes add chopped nuts or some ground almonds. If you don’t like peanut butter, use almond butter OR if you don’t like either, leave it out completely and add a touch more coconut oil and almond milk. What you’re looking for is a sticky consistency that will hold together and isn’t too wet, but it’s easy to add more oats if it is.

One note of caution, these chocolate coconut energy bites taste SO GOOD that they are difficult to not eat in one go straight from the bowl. But hey, at least they’re great for you if you do, right?!

Ingredients
  1. 125g / 5 scoops chocolate or vanilla protein powder
  2. 3 heaped tbsp peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)
  3. 1 level tbsp cocoa powder
  4. 200g rolled oats

Instructions
  1. In a food processor, combine the protein powder, cocoa powder, oats, cinnamon and salt and add the peanut butter, honey and almond milk.

Chocolate Coconut {Bounty} Protein Bites

I love making a big batch of these once a week and storing in the fridge to dip into when necessary. If you make your own protein bites, tag me on Instagram #kerrycooks so I can see!

    These are DANGEROUS around me!!! Lol. Growing up in Newfoundland a traditional Christmas treat you’ll find in most homes are Newfoundland Snowballs , which are similar to this recipe but chock full of sugar and butter. I was looking for a healthier version and may I say yours is absolutely perfect! I still may have to put a lock on my fridge though. I CANT STOP AT JUST 1….OR 2…..Lol. Thank you so much for coming up with a recipe to replace one I have enjoyed since a child Kerry! XOX

    They look great. Just wondering why there are two separate entries for dessicated coconut, 100g and 50g? Is the coconut just for rolling in?

      Thanks Mark! That’s exactly right, sorry to be unclear. 100g is for balls, the rest is to roll them in after wards

    Yum! These look so good. I love the idea of making them and keeping them in the fridge, these cold bites would be ideal in this warm weather! x

      Thanks Jo! That’s the great thing about these – they’re so customisable! It might be good to roll in oats or flaked nuts though so you can pick them up without too much stickiness
