    Coconut Berry Bliss Bars

    May 6, 2015 • Festive/Holidays, Ovulatory Phase, Snacks, Sweets

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Vegan & Gluten Free 'Coconut Berry Bliss Bars' made with a date crust and strawberry coconut creamy filling. Heavenly and decadent healthy dessert bars. From The Glowing Fridge

    These Coconut Berry Bliss Bars are like little strawberry pillows of coconut goodness. 

    Strawberries and coconut just work together. Like the tropical little friends they are. I was inspired to make something girly and pink for Mother’s Day this weekend and coconut seemed fitting because it’s my mom’s favorite.

    These are a special treat and I used coconut oil as sparingly as I could for anyone who tries to minimize their intake of oil like me! The oil really helps to hold everything together and is hard to do without in frozen dessert bars like these unless you don’t care if they melt all over and don’t stay together. I don’t like to use oil – at all – ever! At least not anymore so it wasn’t easy for me to dig out my coconut oil… but since I rarely use it, I figured it’s for a special occasion, celebrating our momma’s and it’s alright.

    Plus, they taste heavenly and they’re pink ♥ which makes everything better.

    Anyone will loooove these delish dessert squares and they’re super simple to make! Blend up the crust and then the filling in the food processor and freeze until firm. So easy and beautiful too!

      Looks and sounds great! We don’t have fresh strawberries until summer and we’re a long way from that (today is only March). Could I use frozen strawberries?
      Either way, thanks for your recipes. I am very new to a plant based diet. I only started a month and a half ago with my sister.

      What size pan did you use? Is it necessary to freeze or would refrigerating be enough? Can’t wait to try these – LOVE the pink color <3

        Hi Arie, I used a 9″x5″ loaf pan. I haven’t tried refrigerating them, only freezing them, but I think it would be okay, although they may be more likely to fall apart. I would have to test it out!

    WHY I’M SO GLAD I SAID YES 🦄 • I get to so WHY I’M SO GLAD I SAID YES 🦄

• I get to solve hair problems for people help them have more confidence
• I get to make an income from wifi
• I’m apart of an inclusive community of driven women that have turned into real friends whom I hope to meet one day!

Before I started my business, I wasn’t sure what direction my life was headed. I was lost for an entire year prior, completely engulfed in motherhood which was fine because I wanted motherhood to take over. I wanted to lose myself in my baby and felt lucky to be able to do that. But then at one point, I wanted to get back to “me” too. I wanted to feel like myself again. I wanted MORE. 

If you’re looking for more income, more community, more flexibility, more confidence, more friendships, more guidance, more support, more financial freedom, more passion in your life… this business can be the vehicle. 

I joined the BEST community of women who have encouraged me every step of the way and led me down the right path. It’s not intimidating at all because everyone wants you to succeed.

    FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 These 3 tips have really FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 

These 3 tips have really helped me combat the annoying oil to the point where now, I only have to wash twice a week. I’m sure you guys already know that washing LESS helps the scalp to stop overproducing so much oil. So washing less is the goal ⚡️ and I can help you get to this point because I know it’s scary/hard to do. But we also have to remember that oil after a couple days is completely normal, so there is a balance here.

Obviously these tips along with the right shampoo and conditioner for YOU is KEY. If you’d like a free custom consult you can DM me HAIR or take my Hair Quiz linked in my bio 🩷🙂🦄⚡️💅🏻👑🔥💛

    Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & ha Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & hair products lately? Your dry shampoo? 

The USA bans only 50 ingredients from cosmetics, 500 in Canada and 1300 in Europe! 😱😱 Did you know my products go be European standards? 

With the chemicals and environmental pollutants etc that we are exposed to daily that we can’t control, we can choose wisely the products we use and slather on our bodies/heads. Your skin absorbs EVERYTHING you put on it, your skin is your largest organ.

I’m sure you heard about the recall of millions of dry shampoos for containing BENZENE which is a cancer-causing ingredient that you are inhaling and spraying on your scalp multiple times per week. Many of them are STILL on the shelves! 😡 I have a better option for you that does not contain talc (an oil absorber also connected to cancer), propane or butane either, which are all connected to allergies and eye, lung and skin irritations.

Let’s do better for our hormones, skin, hair, health, kids health and environmental health. Let’s get you started on better products that you can trust.

I’ve always curled my hair the same way until recently! Loving this look from our new spiral wand. This is apart of our curling wand that comes with 3 attachments 👀 there are some pieces of my hair that look crimpy so I need practice but it took the same amount of time as my normal curling wand.

PRODUCTS USED:
• anti-frizz blow out spray 
• the best ever dry shampoo
• texture spray for grit and hold
• flex control hairspray
• optional glossy shine mist
