Healthy Vegan & Gluten Free Bounty Bars

Vegan and Gluten Free, these Healthy "Bounty" Bars will blow your mind! Made with only 5 plant based ingredients, they’re so quick and easy to make and you`re going to love them!

Looks like I`m on a mission here, hahaha... As I mentioned in my previous post, where I shared my beautiful vegan and gluten free "Snickers" bars, I`m trying to incorporate as many great vegan and gluten free sweets as I can in our family manu. This is my turn on this beautiful bars and it`s a home run!! I mean, they are so similar to a actual Bounty bars, you can hardly find the difference. They are moist, creamy and delicious.With that crunchy chocolate on top, just perfect. My son tell me they are even better than a real thing!! Wow! Time for my happy dens!! 💃 

Great thing about this recipe is that you`ll need just 5 minutes of your time and a food processor to make them. Of course, you need also time to melt to chocolate, but seriously this is one of the easiest and quickest desserts on Earth!!

Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 60 minutes (in refrigerator) Yield: 19 mini bars
INGREDIENTS
For the filling:
150 gr.unsweetened dessicated coconut
5 tablespoons agave or maple syrup (you can also use honey)
5 tablespoons virgin coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of salt
For the chocolate glaze:
150 gr. vegan chocolate
1 teaspoon virgin coconut oil

INSTRUCTIONS
In a food processor combine 150 gr. dessicated coconut, 5 tablespoons agave or maple syrup (you can also use honey), 5 tablespoons coconut oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix until everything is well combined. Note: this mixture may look like very soft and moist, but don`t add be attempted to add more coconut - mixture will harden after cooling. Very carefully shape a little bars and put them on a tray or plate. I found that the easiest way to shape them is to use 1 tablespoon of a mixture, squeeze it in a palm of my hand, then lightly shape it into a bar. Put finished bars in a fridge or freezer for an hour or until harden.

For the glaze, cut chocolate in a small pieces, put it in a glass bowl and melt over bain marie (double boiler) or in a microwave. Add the coconut oil and stir to combine. Place 1 bar into a bowl of melted chocolate and coat it on all sides. Remove it from the chocolate with a fork and let any excess chocolate to drip off. Place your bar on a backing sheet lined with a parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining bars. Worst part is you`ll have to let them cool (first on a room temperature, then in a refrigerator). After that, it`s time to enjoy and share.

You can store them in a fridge up to a 10 days, or in a freezer up to a month. If you try them, let me know what you think in a comment section and don`t forget to share! Thanks!

DIY Vision Board & Achieving dream life

As I was saying in this post, with every new year I`ve got my new plans, dreams, goals and resolutions. In order to achieve them, I 
like to use a few tools and one of them is a Vision Board.
If you haven't heard of a vision board, you are missing out on something that's super fun to make. A vision board is a tool that you can use to help clarify, concentrate and maintain focus on specific life goals. It`s an arrangement of images, quotes and ideas, that represents whatever you want to have in your life.

I’m a super visual person. I knew that something like a vision board would help me reach my goals I have set for myself this year, since I’ll see it everyday!

That's why I`m working on this post to show you how to make your own vision board and how to use it to make your dreams come thru!

WHAT YOU`LL NEED?
The first thing you are going to need is some kind of a board - poster board, cork board, canvas or just a big piece of cardboard. Then you`ll need glue or something to pin your images. Last, but not least you`ll need a bundle of images and quotes that represents your dreams and thing you want to achieve. You can find it on internet (Pinterest, Google..,) or you can just cut it out from your favorite magazines. Finally trinkets of your choice for decoration.

My vision board is a little bit over the top, because it`s huge. I had this empty beautiful picture frame already, so I decided to use it as my vision board. After I printed and cut my images, I started arrange them around, just to make it look right for me. Then I used washi tape instead of glue to attache them, so I can move (or add) things around  when I want to. And, that`s it for the creating part of it. 

WHAT TO INCLUDE ON A VISION BOARD?

Basically you can include anything you dream of.

Your dream: house, car, office, partner, holiday, places to live/visit.

Material things: wardrobe, jewellery, shoes, handbags, makeup, computer, phone, camera.

Your dream business/blog: ideal job, ideal blog, the income you want to generate, who do you want to collaborate with, numbers of your followers, influenster you want to be like etc. 

The ideal state of mind: how you want to feel, what do you want to improve about yourself, what inspires you, how you can inspire and help others. 

The ideal health/fitness goals: ideal diet, weight, ideal fitness routine. 

It`s totally ok to go big and bold on your vision board. It should be filled with the ultimate dreams of yours.

WHERE SHOULD YOU PUT YOUR VISION BOARD?

Anywhere you can see it all the time.

Some people suggest to keep it in a bedroom, so it’s the first thing you see in the morning and the last thing you see at night. That means seeing it when you`re starting your day will instantly put you on the right state of mind for the day, and seeing it before falling asleep will remind you what all your hard work is for!

It is also a good idea to display your vision board in home office. Placing your vision board in your direct line of vision will remind you what you are working for. Vision boards, with all your goals on it will encourage you to keep working, and it will keep you focused on things you want in your life.

HOW TO USE YOUR VISION BOARD?

When you continue to give your attention to the things you want, you attract those things into your life (Law of Attraction).

So, look at your vision board regularly, at least once or twice a day, to remember what you are working towards. By adding a visualization practice to your daily routine, you will naturally become more motivated to reach your goals. Visualization activates the creative powers of your subconscious mind and programs your brain to notice available resources that you usually miss. Visualization also helps to attracts people and opportunities you need to achieve your goals.

Another great way to use your vision board is to pick an image (goal) on your vision board and start writing about it like it is happening right that moment. Also describe how it makes you feel. This will encourage you to work harder and stay focused.

In my opinion, it’s a good idea to create a new vision board each year. Vision board is a great helping tool, but also a beautiful chronicle of your dreams, goals and achievements.
