It’s back to basic no-bake recipes today with some easy and delicious, no-bake coconut protein cookies! They’re amazing straight from the freezer and at 123 calories each with just 10 grams of carbs, 7 grams of fat and 4 grams of protein, you can quite easily fit them into your nutrition plan.
Recipe Details
If you’re looking for a little pre-workout treat, these cookies are great. They have a nice balance of protein, carbohydrates and fat to fuel your hardest workouts.
They’re also decadent enough to enjoy after dinner as an evening treat! Or really any time of day you need a little somethin’ somethin’.
With coconut oil and unsweetened coconut in them they’re a bit higher in fat than some of my other cookie recipes but on the flip side they’re very low in carbs, just 10 grams per cookie! I love the texture of them when stored it the freezer, they don’t freeze completely solid and the chocolate chips add a nice crunch to them!
No Baking Required
There’s no baking required but you will need to melt together some of the ingredients to make these. It only takes a minute though. Simply melt, mix, form into cookies then pop in the fridge or freezer and you’re done!

Can this be stored at room temperature after spending time in the fridge or do that have to stay in the fridge for the whole time?
