I don’t really ever make no-bake recipes, but I decided to this time. I had a 9 hour drive down to Georgia on Thursday so I made these coconut chocolate chip protein bars as a snack to eat on the road.
I can honestly say, I think they are one of the best recipes I have ever made. And trust me, I am not just saying that. They seriously tasted like a mixture between cookie dough and a really good soft protein bar. Absolutely amazing!
As you can probably tell from all of the recipes I make, I am pretty much obsessed with anything chocolate. And pretty much anything coconut. So, these were like the ultimate flavor combo.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that they also have peanut butter. Between the chocolate, coconut, and peanut butter, my taste buds were very happy with these!
