Just 7 Ingredients + Easy Prep
We love simple recipes, and these no bake mango bars are great because they only require seven ingredients. You just combine all of the ingredients in a food processor and then press the mixture into a pan. Once the mixture sets in the fridge, you can cut it into squares or bars and have a real food snack ready to go whenever you need it.
What’s The Deal With Collagen?
Collagen is the perfect addition to recipes like these no bake mango bars and also to your coffee or tea in the morning, smoothies and really just about anything. It dissolves completely and is tasteless.

No Bake Mango Protein Bars
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup cashews
- 3/4 cup macadamia nuts
- 1.25 cups unsweetened dried mangos
- 3/4 cup Medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tbsp collagen, (optional)
- 2 tbsp ground flax seed, (optional)
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a food processor. Pulse a few times just to break them up. Separate the dates if they start to clump together.
- Process continuously for 30 seconds. The ingredients should all be broken down into crumb-sized pieces. Scrape the edges of the bowl to make sure nothing is sticking.
- Process continuously for another 2 minutes or so, until the ingredients start to clump together and gather into a ball. They may not completely ball up, but process until at least some clumps are forming.
- Line a 9"x9" square baking dish with parchment and dump the dough on top. Press the dough with your hands into an even layer. Cover and chill for at least an hour.
- Uncover the chilled dough and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 8 bars or 16 small squares, as desired. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
I wanted to make these as a healthy snack and treat for my husband and young son. The mixture actually BROKE my food processor (it overheated the motor), as there were no liquid ingredients and only hard solid ingredients. So now I have to buy a new blender and food processor (they’re a set and the motor/top goes to both). I used my bullet to finish it out. They kind of formed a dough. I chilled for close to two hours and they completely crumbled and broke apart when I cut them up.
This blog has been so great for meals but I would definitely not make another treat from here, sadly.
So sorry to hear that this happened. We’ve made these in our food processor several times just fine. I don’t know why this would happen or why the bars crumbled.
Hey!
This recipe looks exciting. Just wanted to know which variety of dried mango should be used as an ingredient as it is on of a crucial element?
Thanks
We have found dried mango without sugar at Trader Joe’s. We’ve also seen a brand called Made in Nature that doesn’t have sugar. Or, feel free to substitute any other plain dried fruit.
