coconut flakes

🥗Healthier: unsweetened coconut flakes

💰Cheaper: shredded coconut

Unsweetened coconut flakes reduce sugar content while maintaining texture.

butter

Coconut oil is a healthier fat option, while margarine is often cheaper.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while cake flour is often less expensive.

sugar

🥗Healthier: stevia

Stevia is a low-calorie sweetener, while brown sugar is usually cheaper.

Puree the blackberries. If not using a high speed blender, strain out the seeds.

In a bowl or food processor, mix together the coconut, coconut oil, berry puree, and salt.

Press firmly into a pan (I used this 5x7 glass dish) lined with wax paper.

Freeze for at least 30 minutes.

Cut into 8 bars.

Melt the chocolate chips.

Coat bars in melted chocolate.

Refrigerate until set.

Enjoy! Keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
