These bars are the perfect example of something really tasty, enjoyable, filling and nutritious. Once made they can go in the freezer, leaving one out for when you need it. They can keep in the fridge for up to a week, if you don’t get there first!

Chocolate Coconut Bars
Servings8 bars
Prep Time25 minutes
Passive Time5 hours
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Whiz the Desiccated Coconut, Coconut Oil, Coconut Cream and maple syrup together in a food processor. Scoop this into a mixing bowl with a soft spatula.
  2. Prepare a baking try with baking paper for step 2. Now comes the fun part! It's time to shape the bars into fat little sausage shapes and pat them into place. This can be a bit fiddly but it is worth persevering with in order to get the bars the same shape and size.
  3. Once you are happy with your coconut bars, place them in the freezer to firm up for at least 4 hours. I left mine overnight.
  4. Once frozen, melt the chocolate in a glass bowl over a saucepan. I pop my glass bowl in a sieve over a bowl of boiling water.
  5. Once your choice of chocolate is melted. dunk each bar making sure to coat all sides and then leave to cool on a fresh piece of baking paper, on a tray that will fit in your fridge.
  6. With all the bars coated in chocolate, refrigerate these for at least an hour before consuming. I chose to freeze all but one of mine, so that I didn't eat them all at once!

Coconut Protein Balls
Servings20 portions
Prep Time15 minutes
Passive Time2 hours
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. MIx half of the desiccated coconut and all other ingredients in a bowl. The consistency wants to be moist, not too dry, not too wet. So that you can form little balls in the palm of your hands. If too wet, add more Cocao powder and Coconut. If too dry, add more oil and peanut butter.
  2. Roll the mixture into even sized balls and lat them on a baking tray. Once you have used all the mixture, sprinkle the remaining coconut over the your protein balls and roll them around so that it sticks to the surface. Then leave in the fridge to set.
  3. I bag these up in groups of 5 and put them in the freezer to take out as and when I want them. They last for up to 3 months in the freezer and up to 10 days in the fridge.
