These incredible banana coconut bars not only taste delicious but they are dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan. Who says desserts have to be packed with calories and processed junk?

If you are looking for more healthy bar recipes, you will love these Carrot Cake Bars, Vanilla Chocolate Cheesecake Bars, No Bake Coconut Fudge Bars and definitely these No Bake Salted Caramel Chocolate Bars!

All of these would be even more yummy with some Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate, Apple Chai Latte, Eggnog Latte and definitely some Spiked Apple Cider! 

Also, my cookbooks are both on sale now and would make a great gift! The Everything Wheat Free Diet Cookbook and The Greek Yogurt Cookbook are both the lowest prices I have seen!

Why You Should Make These Banana Coconut Bars

I always use Silk Almond Milk for my smoothies and overnight oats to keep them dairy-free, but I was so excited to see Silk has a new Coconut Almond Blend which I found intriguing. I used the unsweetened version and loved it.

It's not too coconut-y (I don't love coconut) and has a slight taste, just as if I were baking with coconut oil. I'm hooked.

I don't know about you but summer has been filled with cookouts, parties and lots of social events so far. We are definitely eating more (and possibly drinking some more cocktails) and it can be more difficult to stay on track with your healthy eating lifestyle.

These banana coconut bars are a perfect example that you can stay on track and have your treats too.

Recipe Tips

Kids love these banana coconut bars too! They won't even miss all of the processed sugars and junk in other cookies or bars. It has the perfect blend of coconut, banana and chocolate.

Go ahead and add some dried unsweetened dried cherries or another dried fruit, chopped nuts, or even some chia seeds and hemp seeds for added protein and fiber.

When my kids were little and didn't eat as much, I would slice these into 18 bite sized pieces which was the perfect little snack for them. I would also freeze a bunch for busy days and they would defrost in 15 minutes.
