Paleo and Vegan friendly Dark Chocolate Coconut Pistachio bites! A crunchy, lightly sweet, delicious snack BITE that requires no baking! These little chocolate bites are naturally sweetened and packed healthy fats!
I’m going to be completely honest here. I dropped the “ball” on getting this giveaway together. The past few giveaways have been AWESOME but I swear September just crept up like a spider. Silent and deadly! Just kidding, not deadly, but silent for sure. My brain didn’t even realize that September was around the corner until I saw a few “best of August” posts pop up. Uhh… whoops!
Regardless of my brain fog, I conquered through and made the September healthy bite flavor! Yes! And the flavor totally makes up for what else is lacking with the giveaway.
Because, you see… I don’t have an “extra” product to giveaway this time. I forgot to ask one of my favorite companies and didn’t feel like scurrying around to grab one. So instead, I’m going to tell you about this amazing flavor, then I’m going to giveaway 2 BOXES of bites. Not one, but TWO! Will that make up for my forgetfulness? Please say yes!
Okay, I hope you said yes. Now, back to my main objective. This flavor. It has my favorite nut which also happens to be my favorite color. Yep, green pistachio!
And when you take the buttery flavor (and beautiful color) of pistachio, combine it with a slightly bitter but rich taste of dark chocolate, but then sweeten it naturally with coconut and honey… YOU GET THIS!
A crunchy, lightly sweet, delicious HEALTHY BITE! Yea baby! In fact, the texture reminds me of a Krinkle bar, crunchy on the inside, creamy on the outside. Can you handle that?
This combo was so good I shared them with only a few of my favorite people and then ate the rest within a few days. They are ALL gone, which means I need to make more stat! I’m okay with that, it seems to be a good problem, ya know?
Because these bites are UBER healthy! Packed with all the good fats you need and antioxidants. Hmmm, maybe I should change the name of this recipe. Chocolate Coconut Pistachio UBER HEALTHY bites anyone?
That being said, let’s get to the recipe and giveaway already so I can go make more.

Ingredients
- 1 cup unshelled pistachios
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 heaping cup of cocoa powder or chocolate protein if you don't have cocoa
- 1/3 cup almond butter (or nut butter of choice)
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- optional add in -1/2 tsp coconut extract for extra coconut taste
Instructions
- Blend pistachios in a food processor. Transfer into a large bowl and add in all the remaining dry ingredients with the honey being the last . Add your extracts and and any other add ins. Mix well (I use my hands) then roll into bite size balls. Coat bites (once frozen) cocoa or coconut flakes if desired.
- if the batter is too dry add more almond butter and/or honey. If it's too wet, add more coconut flour.
- Makes about 26-28 bites. Freeze or keep in refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Notes
If are looking to reduce the sugar intake, reduce honey to 1/4 cup and add in 1 more tbsp of nut butter (creamy natural). I tried it this way as well and used 2 tsp Nektar Naturalshoney to sweeten these without the extra sugar.
This giveaway is purely my own doing. So two winners ya’ll! I will definitely ship to Canada too! And if you are international and win, I’ll send you the First Edition Healthy Bites Ebook. It’s all about sharing the love here, right? Mwah!
