No Bake Sugar Free Coconut Cashew Protein Bars are the best grab-n-go snack or meal on the run!
These Coconut Cashew Protein Bars are my homemade take on Quest Coconut Cashew protein bars.
Now don't misunderstand I think the Quest bars are a fabulous choice if you're in a bind and need something quick. My kids love them as well. What I don't like is the cost.
Making it at home is easy, cheaper and just as tasty using Sweetleaf Coconut flavored Liquid stevia!
The combination of coconut and cashew is fantastic. A no bake recipe is a given for a win with everyone, don't you think?
The hardest part about this recipe is waiting for it to be set in the fridge long enough to cut them into bars and enjoy one!
Making recipes at home for less expense and where you can control the sugar is what drives my creativity!
If you've got any recipes you'd love to see made over just let me know and I'd be happy to take on the challenge!
You will find this recipe and nutritional information over on the Sweetleaf Website where I am a monthly contributor!

The link is now dead/404, but I found it here: https://www.sweetleaf.com/blogs/recipes/no-bake-coconut-cashew-protein-bars?_pos=1&_sid=abee79897&_ss=r
HOWEVER, it only shows the directions, NOT the ingredients. Please advise.

I can’t find the recipe there. Could you help me with, please?
Brenda Bennett
Yes this was a recipe I had written for the Sweetleaf company which now have taken off their site. I will get this on my website very soon.

Sugar free ...
But you still manage to maintain your sweet addiction by substituting stevia. How clever.
Brenda
I don't think a sustainable sugar free life style can be without sweet indulgences. Enjoying the foods and treats I loved over 12 years ago before I went sugar free, makes it easier to never go back to refined sugar. Stevia has no impact on my blood sugar as sugar once did. I have no cravings and I have no temptations using stevia. Sugar made me uncontrollable.

I love recipes like this where I can recreate something that I would normally just buy premade. Everything is so much better (and cheaper) when made at home!

Not only sugar free but also no bake- awesome!

Thank you! I'm trying to find homemade sugar free Granola bars that aren't too time consuming so I'll definitely try this! If you haven't already, I'd love for you to duplicate my kids' favorite sugar one: the thin crunchy peanut butter ones (2 in a pack-lots of brands make them).

Oh yum! I love Quest bars but totally agree in the price! My fave is the choc chip cookie dough! Maybe you could re-make these! I haven't tried the coconut ones, but I love coconut so I've got to try your recipe 🙂
Brenda
I will totally work on a Cookie dough one, thanks for the idea LeighAnne!

What a great idea! I love to make my own versions of the bars we love.
Lora @cakeduchess
I'm all for making at home what you could buy at a store...and you did a wonderful job with these protein bars, Brenda!
