As a kid, the bounty bars were one of my favorite treats.  

I recently remembered about them, so I thought to recreate a healthier & better version of bounty bars at home.

I ended up with amazingly delicious coconut bars that are: 

• Healthy & packed with protein
• Quick and easy to make 
• Vegan, gluten-free & sugar-free 

Keep reading to find out how to make these healthy Vegan Protein Bounty Bars in less than 20 minutes.

Vegan Bounty Protein Bars – Ingredients:

• Unsweetened shredded coconut – The unsweetened, dry coconut will give the bounty bars a rich, and slightly sweet flavor. 
• Coconut protein powder – I used Vanilla & Coconut flavored protein powder by Bare Blends for this recipe. If you want to use the same product, follow this link for $10 OFF your purchase.
• Tahini – To add a nice, nutty, and earthy flavor to the bars.
• Coconut oil – To bind the bars.
• Date syrup or agave – I used date syrup, but because it is darker, it also made the coconut part of the bars darker You can use a sweetener that won’t change the color, such as agave syrup. 
• Coconut milk from a can – You’ll need the thicker layer on top.
• Melted dark chocolate – You can either melt dark chocolate bought from the store or make homemade chocolate with the following ingredients – 50g cacao butter, 25g cocoa powder, and 25g date syrup.

Next, melt dark chocolate, or make a homemade version of cacao butter, cacao powder, and date syrup.
