    Nice Cream Cookie Bars

    Nice Cream Cookie Bars. Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free. Made with a chocolate chip protein cookie base, then layered with the creamiest banana nice cream. They make for a dreamy summer treat! #vegan #glutenfree #nicecream #cookiebars

    When was the last time you made banana nice cream?!

    For me, it’s been ages! Mostly because I was scared of fruit for a while, but now that we’re friends again, I’m back on the “nice cream” train. Because it’s been crazy HOT outside, I’m craving cold desserts like no other. I love the store bought dairy-free ice cream pints just as much as the next person, but sometimes I’m more in the mood for creamy homemade banana soft-serve, ya know?!

    Okay, if you haven’t heard of “nice cream” before, it’s basically frozen bananas blended in the food processor with some type of dairy-free milk which transforms into the creamiest ice-cream-like deliciousness. In this recipe, we’re using creamy coconut milk. Naturally, I took it a step further with the intention of making Nice Cream Cookie Bars – best decision ever.

    Side note: I get messages and emails all the time asking what vegan dessert should I make for my kid’s birthday? Or what dairy-free dessert do you recommend for summer? 

    And now I can refer them to this recipe! Although theses bars would not travel well (they would melt just like any other frozen dessert), if the party is at home, they would be perfect. You could even turn them into creamy ice cream popsicles! So first, you’ll make a base layer with a few of the NuGo Dark Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies (to make your life WAY easier, plus they are gluten free, non-GMO and vegan of course!) then layer the “nice cream” on top for the dreamiest Nice Cream Cookie Bars.

    What I love about the NuGo Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies are the ingredients. I know what everything is because they are made from real foods. Of course there’s a little sugar and you all know I live that sugar-free life now, but there’s always room for the occasional cookie or cookie bar so we don’t make ourselves too crazy. Not to mention one NuGo cookie = 16 grams of protein which helps prevent the blood sugar rollercoaster.

    All in all, I had to share these delish cookies with you! They’re also boyfriend approved, by the way 🙂 I hope you love the cookie bars and make them while it’s still hot out 🙂

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 4 1/2 NuGo Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies, divided
    • 2 tablespoons melted raw coconut oil
    • 4 frozen bananas (peeled and sliced before being frozen)
    • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (from the can)

    Instructions

    1. Crumble 4 of the cookies into the bowl of a food processor and pulse, slowly adding in the melted coconut oil. Mixture will be crumbly. Transfer to a lined 8×8 square baking dish and refrigerate 30 minutes to set.
    2. Meanwhile, start pulsing/blending the frozen bananas in the food processor with the coconut milk until smooth and creamy, for about 5 minutes or so. You may have to scrape down the sides every so often. When the consistency is like ice cream, layer it over top the cookie base. Top with another 1/2 crumbled cookie and freeze for 3-4 hours, or until firm.
    3. Slice the bars in squares and serve. Freeze any remaining bars.
    4. Enjoy!

Before I started my business, I wasn’t sure what direction my life was headed.

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.

Take my HAIR QUIZ linked in my bio or DM me HAIR and I can get you started 🧴🧴🧴🧴

• anti-frizz blow out spray 
• the best ever dry shampoo
• texture spray for grit and hold
• flex control hairspray
