- Protein Powder – You can use any protein powder for this, but in this recipe I used a vanilla plant-based protein powder, like this one below.
- Coconut Flour – you can use any brand of coconut flour for this recipe. Here is a brand of coconut flour I like to use.
- Coconut Yogurt – if you don’t have coconut yogurt at home you can also use regular yogurt or yogurt made from almond milk. Feel free to use cream of coconut if you’re feeling indulgent!
- Desiccated Coconut – for texture
- Melted white chocolate chips – I used regular white chocolate chips, but you can also use white candy melts or almond bark. I also like using this stevia sweetened brand since it’s lower-carb/lower sugar diet-friendly

How to Make
White Chocolate Coconut Protein Bars
STEP 1
Mix together – 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 2
Mold the dough into a rectangular shape, wrap in plastic wrap or an airtight container, and let the dough set in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Slice into bars and coat in chocolate
STEP 3
Enjoy!
Recipe Variations and Optional Add Ins for White Chocolate Coconut Protein Bars:
- 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 or cream cheese extract.
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 White Chocolate Coconut Protein Bars
- Store these protein bars covered in the fridge for up to 3-5 days.

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.
