Let these No Bake Coconut, Cashew and Pineapple Energy Bites take you to the tropics! They are a tasty snack you can grab on the run, or enjoy at home. These bites will brighten your day.
I’ve been trying to get my snacking in check, but sometimes it’s hard. It’s especially hard for me since I’ve been working from home for the past year+. These bites are helpful — they’re satisfying and delicious, and filled with healthy ingredients.
I’m not an expert on nutrition, but after a little digging, I found that the ingredients in these bites are filled with fiber, vitamins and minerals, protein, antioxidants, calcium, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids (hearty-healthy fats).
The chia seeds themselves pack a punch with the good-for-you stuff. I recommend you do some research yourself to see what you think, then decide what’s right for your diet.
Are you crazy for cashews? Try a few of my other recipes that include them:

Dark Chocolate Chip Cherry Cashew Bars
These little energy bites are great in the afternoon. That’s exactly when I seem to slump a little, or go snack crazy on things that might not be quiiiiite so good for me.
These no bake bites are so easy to make, there’s really no reason not to try them! Pineapple, coconut, and cashew make such a great combination of flavors. I used raw cashews and toasted them a bit.
After whirling the ingredients in a food processor for a minute or so, the final product can be just a bit wet. After rolling the bites in a bit of dried coconut, I refrigerated them to firm up. To store them, pop them in a container and keep them in the fridge.
