- Blueberry Puree – I used fresh blueberries that I pureed in a small blender, but you’re welcome to use frozen blueberries, too.
- Greek Yogurt – I used Fage 0% Greek Yogurt in this recipe, but if you want to turn this into a vegan snack, you can also use dairy-free yogurt subs like almond milk yogurt or coconut milk yogurt.
- Protein Powder – You can use any protein powder for this, but I used an unflavored whey-casein protein powder I had at home since I wanted the color of the blueberries to show through. You’re welcome to use other light colored protein powder for this recipe, such as vanilla.
- Coconut Flour – Used to hold the dough together. I used this brand.
- Monkfruit Sweetener, or sugar of choice – to add more sweetness if needed.

How to Make
Blueberry Greek Yogurt Protein Bars
STEP 1
Puree blueberries in a small blender, or finely mash with a fork.
STEP 2
Mix protein powder, coconut flour, almond flour, greek yogurt, sugar of choice (omit if using sweetened protein powder) and the prepared blueberry puree. I find that it’s best to use my hands to mix the dough because it takes some kneading and pressing to get the dough to come together.
STEP 3
Add more coconut flour if the dough is too soft, add a teaspoon or more of almond milk if the dough is too thick.
STEP 4
Shape dough into a rectangular mound, then wrap in plastic wrap or an airtight container, and let the dough set in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Slice into bars.
STEP 5
Dip the protein bars into the melted chocolate and then set it aside on a clean parchment paper. Drizzle with more chocolate if desired.
STEP 6
ENJOY!
Recipe Variations and Optional Add Ins:
- You can use any berries of choice. Try raspberries, strawberries using this same recipe!
- Feel free to experiment with natural flavoring / extracts. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract (I didn’t feel like it was essential so I left it out in this recipe), or other flavorings or extracts, such as lemon extract
Just keep in mind that some extracts contain alcohol, and since this is a no-bake recipe, the alcohol won’t have a chance to fully evaporate. If serving this to kids, or if you’re sensitive to alcohol, be sure to use non-alcoholic extracts or flavorings. Here are some non-alcoholic brands, here: Non-alcoholic vanilla extract , non-alcoholic lemon extract
- Add chocolate chips of choice (white, dark, or mini chocolate chips) for a more indulgent version
How to Make this Healthier
- Make this even healthier by adding a handful of nuts, seeds and old-fashioned oats to add texture and nutrition. Even better, add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed, hemp seeds, or chia seeds.
How to Store
- Store these protein bars covered in the fridge for up to 3-5 days.
- For longer storage, freeze them in an airtight container or ziploc bag. They’ll be good for up to 3 months.

Final Tips
- Coconut flour and protein powders are all very different depending on brands, so if you find that the dough is too soft, add more coconut flour; if the dough is too thick, add a teaspoon or more of water, honey or liquid sweetener of choice.
