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.
