These No Bake Raspberry Almond Coconut Bites will satisfy anyone’s sweet tooth! They are chewy, tasty, loaded with nuts and freeze-dried raspberries that just blend so well together. Therefore, they are a quicker and healthier granola bar. And aren’t they cute, too?
I have been making them for a long time now. If you have been following me for a while, you’ll know that I major sweet tooth and that I love making snacks that you can have handy at any time. During times when I try to eat healthier and stay away from sweets and bread, these bites always come to the rescue for me.
The only downside to making these treats is that ingredients are not very cheap, but worth every penny compared to how much healthier and handy a treat they are. It has no unhealthy refined sugar, but at the same time is perfectly sweet enough that will not only keep hunger away but will satisfy your sweet cravings for some time. Most of the ingredients in it come in large quantities except the freeze-dried raspberries. So, in the long run, the bites turn out fairly inexpensive.
I love having them as a snack. I place a few into a snack Ziploc bag and keep them in my purse when away from home for too long in between meals. When a meal is not yet in sight and I am hungry, I go for this deliciousness handy in my purse instead of grabbing some of the junk food somewhere.
I cannot express how much they’ve helped sustain me during that time. I absolutely love these, and would really recommend you give it a try if you’re frequently on the go! You will fall in love with these bites from the first one you pop in your mouth. Enjoy!
