This recipe looks amazing! Going to try it with our Whole Blend Whipped Mocha Latte protein!
These were awesome! I didn’t have candies to crush so I actually put in 2 tsp peppermint extract to boost the flavor. I also used more almond meal in place of the coconut flour. They remind me of thin mints!
★★★★★
Espresso beans added to any recipe..speaking my language! Peppermint just takes it to a new level!

Mint Mocha – what a pick me up.
To simple and convenient to take along.
Cookie dough and anything with chocolate would be great. Though I also wouldn’t mind some snicker doodle 😉
Cookie dough!
I have no idea what flavor, they all sound sooo good!
Well ya know Muddy Buddy Mocha are a fav or mine HAHA ;-). A Reeses or Snickers bite might be interesting. Can you tell I’m having issues w/ candy HAHA??!! Hope I win! Love Healthy Bites 🙂
Since we all know I have a slight obsession with all things PB + Chocolate, I would recommend that flavor combination, hehe 🙂
hehe that i know! and bananas
I’d love to win any flavor without coffee, coconut, or lemon! LOL.
Can’t wait to try my hand at making these! I am an almond butter and chocolate girl!
Can’t wait to try my hand at making these!
I love your healthy bites, if I win anything chocolately or cookie dough!
Thanks
These look delicious!! I love the idea of easy snacks and mint anything is my favorite.
I think a vegan coconut pb healthy bite sounds awesome! But I’m up for trying anything! They all sounds fantastic!
I have been a starving beast lately, so any flavor would be delicious! However, I’m particularly fond of chocolate or pb… Or both together 🙂
Picking just one flavor stresses me out! 😉 As for flavor ideas … anything you create is going to be a winner!
Cookie dough!! I sooo want to try these 😉
Gahhhh I love the mint choc chip and lemon flavors!!!!
Anything chocolate please!
Chocolate but I’m an Aussie too so I’d love to see Vegemite in anything lol
WOW — those look delicious, Lindsay!
Also, regarding the “refocus” post — I LOVE it. I love that you point to God — I love that you are reminding yourself (and others!) that HE is in control. I love that you are trusting in Him. We may fail, but He doesn’t!
Just felt like sharing a quote that we have up on our clinic whiteboard right now, “Lose the necessity for a specific outcome. Take care of the process and it will get you your outcome.” To me, this means doing the right things each day — whether it’s in training or not — trust the process. You’ll get where you should be!
There are too many flavors that sound good, but I could definitely go for the mint mocha or cookie dough. It sounds crazy but a pancake and maple syrup flavor would be cool if it could be done.
i dont know that i can pick a flavor!! maybe a paleo mint chocolate or paleo snickerdoodle!? or something i’m not thinking of….espresso chip? blueberry?! you’re the flavor genius, not i!
I’m not just saying it to say it, but I really haven’t disliked any of the flavors that you’ve made! You’re so creative! The next flavor I’d love to try would be something with raspberries (or strawberries) and dark chocolate in honor of Valentine’s Day 😀
Mint Mocha sounds delicious!!!! Yum! I need to check out your other flavors!
ALL the flavor sound delicious! My 2 year old wats them faster than I can!
Your healthy bites are too delicious to choose just one…. cookie dough, chocolate peanut butter, snickerdoodles are a couple of my favorites 🙂 Thank you for hosting this generous giveaway!

I would love to try the mocha mint flavor, but so many different ones sound amazing. I love all of your combinations!
Oh my….these are pretty much my favorite flavors combined… I’ve said it before, but food twins!
And as for what flavor… I’d say either the mint mocha or muddy buddy… yum!
we sure are food twins!
they all sound amazing. i think i would have to do a spur of the moment pick!
I would want any bite with peanut butter
I want to win that mint mocha. Seriously – mint chocolate is one of the BEST combos!!!
Thanks for the chance to win. Anything with the words chocolate and healthy is a winner to me! These look great!
I want to win all the flavors? 😉
Strawberry Cheesecake would be a flavor creation I would love to try!
I am always amazed at your creativity with your bites!! I love your mint mocha bites!
I would want to try the cookie dough flavor because cookie dough is always a win. 😉 And for a new flavor… hmm maybe cake batter!

So nice of you to share the Healthy Bite love! I love mint and chocolate combo, but I’d probably say surprise me with something vegan!
Mint mocha sounds delicious! I would also love to try cookie dough 🙂
I love them all and could never pick just one. 🙂
I have been meaning to try your healthy bites in forever… while cookie dough does sound fabulous, the fuel bite combo sounds fantastic! Definitely right up my flavor alley! 🙂
I love coffee and I love mint so I choose this!
How about something with chocolate and mint?? That would be awesome!
like this recipe? I do make a chocolate chip mint one! xxoo
Dark chocolate coconut almond. Like my favorite Almond Joy’s
I would live something like chocolate and banana (good idea!! ^) or chocolate peanut butter!
You made me a custom flavor last summer that was delicious. It was gluten free peanut free oat free and delicious” I don’t remember the flavor tho ?
What about a banana choc flavor.
i think it was a paleo one for you, yes?
I’d love to win the coconut! I’d like to see a caramel flavor–maybe with dates?
I’d want to get the cookie dough
I’d LOVE to try the mocha mint! I think a sweet potato flavor would be fun!
I would love to try any of the flavors! The mint mocha or cookie dough sound fantastic!
A lemon blueberry swirl would be delightful!
Mint Mocha please! One of my fav flavor combos! How about a banana bread with nuts type of healthy bite next? Yum!
This flavor sounds amazing!
something vanilla/cinnamon flavored would be awesome!
Yummy! I am so intrigued to try this famous nutzo! The bites look great and I am in dire need of some gluten free snacks! Pick me Pick me!
Oh and I would love to try goodie bites or fruit bites! Yum!
These sound amazing! I am adding espresso beans to my shopping list.
you know me. I love all of your healthy bites. I think PB and Jam would be awesome.
The Muddy Buddy Mocha always sound good to me, so many of my fav things in one bite! If I was to choose a new flavour combo, maybe something cinnamony or dark choco and spicy for Valentines 🙂
i like your thinking!
OMG! I love when you share a healthy bites recipe 🙂 I haven’t made one yet, but I am DEFINITELY making THIS one after my Whole 30 Challenge!
you can make these paleo. Just use raw honey and no chocolate chips.
I’m with Jodie, there are too many flavors to choose from! But coconut does sound pretty darn good…

I am most excited for Creamy Dark Chocolate and I would love to see chocolate cinnamon!

I’ve made it before but haven’t shared the recipe. 😉
Anything with ginger in it!
The mint mocha sounds yummy and I’d like to see chocolate and peanut butter combo recipes.
Mmm. I have to select just one? This recipe sounds lovely!

Me putting these balls in my mouth is the most action I would have gotten in a long time. So I think I need to win.
And that grammar is all kinds of wrong… AMAZING.
you know i love that comment.
Mmmm, I want muddy buddies! Although those mocha mint sound awesome as well. Happy Friday!
Mint mocha sounds delicious
I’d love to try the mint mocha, though hands down my favorite flavor is the lemon flavor you created. I think a pistachio dark chocolate flavor would be pretty awesome too!
Apple/peach/apricot Cinnamon Vanilla sounds mighty tasty and perfect for fueling my runs!
I don’t know how I could ever choose just ONE healthy bite flavor. How bout I say two ;)?
-Maple Vanilla Latte
-Vanilla fig
And as for a new flavor… Snickerdoodle! Or have you already done that one Miss Creative!
I love anything with mint and chocolate in it. Thanks for hosting this giveaway.
OMG I want to win!! I love that mocha mint one, but I also love the apricot ones!! And coconut cookie dough would be amazing, yes?
Mint mocha sounds really delicious!
This recipe looks fantastic!
I forgot to say that this flavor looks fantastic. As for other flavors in the future, anything with chocolate and peanut butter is tops in my book!
These look great, and so does the Nuttzo!
I think your Friday Flavor inspired me to do some cooking tomorrow! Yummy!
Cookie doughhhhh!
Hahahaha and then watch me collect them in person on ‘Border Security’. (Do you guys have that show there?) I think Australian customs is THE WORST.
hmm maybe this flavor! And something with chocolate, coconut, and cinnamon would be fabulous (all sugar-free too!)
Cookie Dough all the way!
So many flavors I want so I just can’t pick one now! 😉 Probably coconut or coffee or molasses or some flavor like that in it! 🙂
Next – same as above! 🙂
I don’t even know all the possible flavors (sadly I’ve never tried a Healthy Bite) but peanut butter with chocolate would be my favorite (is that even an option??).
Mint mocha sounds perfect. I am a nut butter girl so anything with PB. Chocolate PB 🙂 hmmm, apple cinnamon? pumpkin pie? Now you have me thinking…
I would like to try the mint mocha flavor! I think a new flavor combination I’d like to see is something with sweet potato and almond butter!
I would love anything chocolates and peanut butter!
What an awesome giveaway! 😀 Delish! Don’t know how I’d choose… Almond butter anything is right up my ally. 😉 The above recipe looks good too – that’d be an awesome snack on the ski trails while we’re back country skiing this weekend!
Still totally obsessed with the vegan mint… hmm next flavor gosh this is hard, maybe peanut butter carmel??
girl if i could get my hand on ANY of your flavors, but especially your vegan ones.
the mint mocha sounds amazing. two of my favorite flavors! do you do carob at all? that would be amazing as well.
I would love to try some Healthy Bites – I think I’d choose Cookie Dough!
These look fantastic but if I win, I would love to try the apricot cinnamon vanilla healthy bites flavor!
I would ask for a custom made peanut butter white chocolate 🙂
Yum yum yum! I’d love anything with coconut and/or chocolate! 🙂
I’m actually going to pick up some mint to add to my smoothies this week. I’m weirdly craving lots of green smoothies…Random. Those mint bad boys looks so good! XOOX
You KNOW i love mocha anything! great recipe – absolutely going to try it!
I LOVE all the Healthy Bites I’ve tried so far! The ones you sent me were incredible: Mint Chocolate Chip, Muddy Buddy Mocha, Apple Peach Raisin Cinnamon, Cookie Dough, Pineapple Ginger Marshmallow. Plus, I’ve tried a few others like the Cherry Berry Delights and the Vegan Halloween Healthy Bites, which I loved!
I’m not such a fan of the mint/chocolate combo..but my little taste tester looooves it..although I wouldn’t want to see what espresso beans could do to him lol
I really enjoy the fruit combos most..and if I win, i would love it if you could surprise me with a little something special. I trust I’d love anything you come up with 🙂 X
p.s. not sure if you noticed this but you listed “tweet about the giveaway” twice. i guess i could tweet about it again..if you really want me to 🙂
oh, nvm. now I see what you did 🙂 and…done! 🙂
tee hee. <3
ahh this would be a very difficult decision… i’d probably choose a flavor with pumpkin and/or pb!
You know I want these! Can you just rig this so I win? 😉
of course. Baller!
Yummy. I was just telling someone about your awesome healthy bites the other day. Maybe I’ll try making these and share some love around with bites!
oh man, i have never tried any healthy bites! i’m sure i would love them all, though the pb/banana combo sounds delish!
Oh YUM!!! You know I’m one of your biggest fans xxxx
Ahhh! Healthy Bites, how I miss you! I need to order more asap! (if you are taking orders)
Favorite flavor : PB banana with cinnamon 🙂
Flavor combination idea : White Chocolate & cinnamon. MMMM
These sound awesome! I might actually have to try and make these instead of just staring at them and wishing for them!
I always have to enter your giveaways, it’s a requirement. 🙂 And is Arman the only one that gets access to that Vegemite? Speaking of…I may have a little present to send to you…
Goodie Bites! Mint mocha seems ridiculous, though. Wow.
Mint mocha sounds amazing. Like my favorite Starbucks drink.
Mmm, this sounds like a great flavor… um, do you have the pb vegemite recipe somewhere? or maybe you’d share privately with me? 😀
that sounds GOOD.
XXO sending you big hugs, dear
i happy to share it with you! <3
Flavor I want to win— Sugar cookie! (The kind you made for Lindsay Wright!) And next months flavor..Key Lime!?
You know I love all of the flavors of Healthy Bites that I have tried, I particularly really enjoyed the Pumpkin Chocolate one! I think I’d go with a custom flavor, like snickerdoodle!? 🙂
Always have to do what’s best for you and your family. Totally understandable. And I’d LOVE to win/see the recipe for the birthday cake bites!! 🙂
I am so glad you are sharing recipes!! I would LOVE to win some cookie dough ones. Those are awesome!
I agree with the PB and dark chocolate combo.
i would love to win a peanut butter flavor or a cheesecake flavor!
Hmmmm decisions, decisions… I’m definitely a huge fan of chocolate and coffee, so that flavor post sounds delightful! As for something new, maybe something including some avocado in a way?? Not sure if that would even be possible. I just like avocados ha. 🙂
Coffee & chocolate = combination made in heaven! I would face plant into some mocha bites! But I think I would eat anything you set in front of me they all sound so good!!!
I’ve always wanted to try the recovery bites. They look and sound so good. I think some spring flavors would be pretty cool. I’m not sure what goes along in the spring but I think of easter such as carrots or light chocolate flavors!
I’d love a PB and dark chocolate combo, but all the flavors sound scrumptious.
I’d like to try the Goodie Bites cookie dough.
I’d like to see a carrot cake flavor.
Yum, this flavor combo is right up my alley. We are so alike in our tastebuds, I must say 😉 no surprise there, my sister friend!! I am so glad you felt the love on your post yesterday, as you should! XOXO
Mint mocha for sure!
I would love one of the coffee/mocha flavored!
You had me at coffee. And then again at mint. And chocolate 😉
And seriously, ANY flavour would be a good flavour to win — everyone knows it’s the passion and love that goes into making the food where the real nutrition value is 😉
anything pumpkin pie-ish or apple pie-ish! Yum 🙂
These look amazing! But honestly, I’d want whatever you wanted to send my way but I’m always partial to peanut butter and chocolate! 😉
Immediately pinned this for future reference. Mint+mocha? Totally my jam. Oh yes, I will be making these soon. 🙂
mint mocha looks good!! I would love to try something like caramel mocha or cinnamon mocha
Definitely Mint Mocha – I love that there are espresso beans in there!
Would love to win Raspberry/Berry Cream!
A Blueberry Swirl Cobbler would be a yummy fruity flavor to create! 🙂
I would love to try these mint mocha ones!!
Id try any flavor!! Because they are amazing!!!! I LOVE them!
I’d have to go with the birthday cake flavor!! My favorite 🙂
I want the ones you just left the recipe for!!
I have chocolate covered espresso beans at home- I’m thinking if I put those through the food processor it should work, right?
All the flavors sound amazing, so anyone is good for me! 🙂
THIS is the flavor I want to win! My favorite combo, hands down.
I still have yet to try these but seriously any flavor sounds amazing! mocha is the bomb!
YUM. And good to know about subbing almond meal for coconut flour. Can that be across the board or just with the bites? Gosh, I’ve loved any of the flavors I’ve tried. I’d even be willing to have a surprise flavor box!
pretty much! They have very similar mixing textures, ya know?
Mint Mocha all the way! Holy cow those sound amazing!
These look FANTASTIC! And those mocha mint bites are calling my name 😉
I want all of that. Hooray, Flavor Friday!
Also, I’m officially making it a baking weekend.
I wanna win these mint mocha bites. Also PB Vegemite bites sound interesting!! I think a good flav combo would be a s’mores style bite or cookies n’ cream.
I would love to try the mint mocha – – actually I would love to try any of the flavor combos!
