No-Bake Healthy Chocolate Coconut Cookies
Everyone needs to be able to have snacks on the fly, right? The thing is, pretty much anything that comes ready-made out of a box, just isn’t so good for you. So what’s the alternative? Carrots? Well, sometimes. But, how about some no-bake cookies? When I have two of these tasty treats, I feel awesome! They are packed with superfoods, yet hit my sweet spot and satisfy it splendidly.
They are so easy to make, especially if you have a food processor. If you don’t, you’ll be using a lot more elbow grease – but you can still do it. Of course, the variations are limitless! Try some today, I know you’ll love ’em.

What a great snack! I would love to have these around to munch on when hunger hits!
These look great – my Frankie is wheat, dairy and nut free which doesn’t leave a lot in the way of cookies! She will love these x
That’s wonderful to hear Kristin! Enjoy 🙂
They are GREAT for that. Saves me from grabbing for something else, especially when I bring them to work with me – I avoid classic pitfalls!
Oh, I’d love the recipe! Is there flour in them, or is the base dates as well? Thanks for coming by Tina!!
