Savor the exotic flavors of matcha and mango in these nutrient-rich bliss bars. A healthy dessert that satisfies with natural sweetness and vibrant colors!
Ingredients
- • raw almonds: 1 cup
- • raw cashews: 1/2 cup
- • unsweetened shredded coconut: 1/2 cup
- • pitted Medjool dates: 1 cup
- • fresh ripe mango, diced: 1 cup
- • matcha powder: 2 teaspoons
- • chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- • coconut oil, melted: 2 tablespoons
- • optional: shredded coconut for garnish
Instructions
- 1 Begin by lining an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the edges are overlapping for easy removal later.
- 2 In a food processor, combine the almonds, cashews, and shredded coconut. Pulse until you achieve a fine meal-like consistency.
- 3 Add in the Medjool dates, mango, matcha powder, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and salt. Process until the mixture becomes sticky and holds together when pressed.
- 4 Pour in the melted coconut oil and pulse again until well combined, forming a cohesive dough.
- 5 Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, pressing it firmly and evenly with your fingers or the back of a spoon to create a flat, compact layer.
- 6 Optionally, sprinkle additional shredded coconut on top for extra texture and visual appeal.
- 7 Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm and easy to slice.
- 8 Once set, remove the block from the pan using the parchment edges, and cut into eight even bars. Enjoy chilled.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Exotic Matcha Mango Bliss Bars are perfect as a refreshing dessert on a warm day or a nutritious snack to energize your afternoon.

Storage Tips
Store any leftover bliss bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, you can freeze the bars in a sealed container for up to three months. To enjoy from frozen, simply allow them to thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours or at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving. This will help preserve their texture and flavor.
