A plant-based take on the classic coconut bar, with healthy ingredients. A generous base of desiccated coconut and coconut milk delivers rich, satisfying healthy fats and fibre that keep you fuller for longer, while Pureblend folds in complete plant protein to support muscle repair, turning a sweet treat into something with real nutritional backbone. A dark chocolate shell brings antioxidants and just enough indulgence. Perfect for a post-workout reward or a snack that holds you over between sessions.
Ingredients
- 160g Desiccated coconut
- 130g Thick part of coconut milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Coconut extract (optional)
- Pinch of sea salt, plus extra to sprinkle
- 40g Pureblend
- 100g Thick coconut yogurt
- 30g Maple syrup
- 180g Dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp Coconut oil (for the chocolate coating)
- 1 tbsp Desiccated coconut, extra for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the desiccated coconut, protein powder and sea salt.
- Add the coconut milk, coconut yogurt, vanilla extract, coconut extract and maple syrup. Mix until thick and mouldable — add a little extra coconut yogurt or coconut milk if it's too dry.
- Shape the mixture into 16 small oval bars.
- Freeze or chill the bars for 30–40 minutes until firm enough to dip.
- Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together (microwave in short bursts or over a bain-marie) until smooth.
- Dip each bar in the melted chocolate to coat, then place on a lined tray and sprinkle with extra desiccated coconut and a pinch of sea salt while the chocolate is still wet.
- Chill until the chocolate has set.
