Straight out of the Reclaim Your Radiance Wholefoods Recipe Book… my bounty bites! These little delights are vegan, gluten free, refined sugar free, but most definitely not FUN free!
Bounty bites are one of the most popular creations inside RYR so I thought I’d share a little taster with you! If you are a lover of coconut you are in the right place!
Coconut is a fantastic form of MCTs (medium chain triglycerides), whilst it has had a bad wrap for being high in saturated fats, MCT’s are actually super powerful when it comes to being antibacterial and antifungal (SIBO and candida I’m looking at you).
Coconut (and it’s oil), are a high quality fat source that have been linked to improved cognitive function, as well as increasing satiety (fullness), which as a result can help with weight loss. This is something to be mindful of though, as it is still a very high fat food and like all good quality fats, should be enjoyed in moderation (like a portion of one of these bounty bite slices).
MCT’s like coconut due to their shorter chains, are actually more easily digestible too! And because of the bonus of being antibacterial/antifungal this is another win for your gut! Check out the recipe below:
Makes around 20 servings
– 3 & ½ cups shredded unsweetened coconut
– 1 tbsp. unsweetened vanilla extract
– ½ cup coconut cream
– 1 tbsp. coconut oil
– 2 tbsp. vanilla plant/collagen protein powder
1 – 2 tbsp. stevia (optional) to sweeten
For topping: ½ loving earth chocolate bar melted + 1 tsp. coconut oil
If you do make this, be sure to tag me on social media @strengthen.heal.nourish and let me know what topping creations you come up with, I am always looking for more inspo!
ENJOY!
Yours in Health,
