St. Patrick’s Day Chocolate Mint Protein Coins (High-Protein, No-Bake)

These St. Patrick’s Day Chocolate Mint Protein Coins are a festive, kid-friendly treat that’s simple to make and packed with better-for-you ingredients.

Inspired by classic Thin Mints, this version is no-bake, high-protein, and low sugar, making it a fun way to celebrate without the sugar crash.

Instead of traditional cookies, the dough is cut into small chocolate coins, making them perfect for little hands and festive St. Patrick’s Day snacks. You still get that cool mint and rich chocolate flavor, but with balanced ingredients that support steady energy and blood sugar.

Featuring Be Well Chocolate Mint Protein Powder

This blood sugar-friendly, healthy dessert recipe features brand new, limited edition Be Well Chocolate Mint Grass-Fed Protein Powder, a seasonal flavor that has quickly become a community favorite.

It has the perfect balance of rich cocoa and cool peppermint; no artificial aftertaste, no weird texture, and zero sugar. Just smooth, crave-worthy flavor you can feel good about using in desserts, shakes, or holiday treats like these.

A Healthy St. Patrick’s Day Treat for Kids

These Chocolate Mint Protein Coins are perfect for:

  • St. Patrick’s Day snack boards
  • Lunchbox treats
  • After-school snacks
  • Freezer-friendly better-for-you desserts

Cutting the dough into small circles or “gold coins” makes them especially fun for kids and easy to portion.

They deliver that nostalgic mint-chocolate cookie flavor, but in a blood sugar-friendly, high-protein treat.

Be Well Tip: Store Them in the Freezer

These little chocolate coins are dangerously easy to keep on hand.

I love storing a batch in the freezer because the chill makes them extra crisp and gives you that classic Thin Mint snap. Plus, they last longer and are easy to grab one at a time.

They’re perfect as:

  • a post-dinner treat
  • an afternoon pick-me-up
  • a high-protein sweet bite after a workout

Zero prep, zero guilt, all pleasure.

Make Them Your Own

This recipe is intentionally simple, but you can customize it depending on your mood:

  • Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top
  • Drizzle with extra melted dark chocolate
  • Mix in cacao nibs for crunch
  • For a St. Patrick’s Day twist, serve them as little chocolate “gold coins” or stack them into a festive dessert platter for kids.

Ingredients

Cookie Base:

  • 1.5 cups almond flour (or 1 scoop Chocolate Vegan Protein Powder + 1 cup almond flour)
  • 1 scoop Be Well Chocolate Mint Protein Powder
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

Chocolate Coating:

  • 1 cup dark chocolate (such as Hu), melted
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for a smoother coating)

Directions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, Chocolate Vegan Protein, and Chocolate Mint Protein. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
  2. Pour in the melted coconut oil and mix until a soft dough forms. If the mixture feels too dry, add an extra teaspoon of coconut oil. For a stronger mint flavor, mix in peppermint extract here.
  3. Roll the dough into small balls, then flatten each one into a thin disc (¼-inch thick) to mimic the shape of traditional Thin Mints. Place the discs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Transfer the tray to the freezer for 10–15 minutes, or until the cookies are firm enough to dip.
  5. Melt the dark chocolate (and coconut oil, if using) in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth and glossy.
  6. Remove the chilled cookies from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate, coating both sides. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing them back on the parchment.
  7. Freeze the coated cookies for another 10–15 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
  8. Enjoy straight from the freezer (the best way!), or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 2 months.
