    Deliciously comforting Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oat Bars (Gluten Free). Full of dreamy pumpkin spice flavor and sweet chocolate chips to finish it off! #vegan #pumpkin #bars

    If it’s September, then you’re in the clear to start making pumpkin things…

    Like these Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oat Bars. At least that’s what I tell myself! Although I make pumpkin things throughout the year because it’s comforting and makes me happy. Also I eat for my cycle which means pumpkin in the luteal phase 🙂

    Bloggers love to blog about pumpkin though! I’m well aware and proud to be one of them. I can’t help myself haha.

    There has been a bittersweet sense of fall in the air since September arrived. This was a really fun and somewhat relaxing summer so I’m ready for all the fall things, plus there are lots of exciting things happening around here! My book (The Happy Hormone Guide) is coming out on September 10th, I have my bachelorette party at the end of September and we’re getting married on December 6th in Mexico! Did I mention we are going on a safari honeymoon to South Africa?! It doesn’t feel real so I’m actually pinching myself. I have lots to be grateful for so I’m trying to soak it all in and savor the special moments 🙂

    But you came for these delicious vegan pumpkin bars so let’s get to those!

    Deliciously comforting Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oat Bars (Gluten Free). Full of dreamy pumpkin spice flavor and sweet chocolate chips to finish it off! #vegan #pumpkin #bars

    I wanted to name them breakfast bars but they have chocolate chips… this doesn’t bother me or stop me from eating them for breakfast but maybe some people would be offended? Either way, they are not overly sweet and can most definitely be enjoyed with a hot cup of coffee or tea, or my creamy caffeine-free latte. Mmmm! Even my golden milk turmeric latte would play nice with these breakfast-like bars!

    First off, these gooey bars couldn’t be easier since everything is made in one bowl and takes about 10 minutes to throw together. Pumpkin, peanut butter, vanilla, maple syrup and a little almond milk are mixed with gluten free flour, oats, warming pumpkin spices and pecans! Your kitchen will smell like actual heaven. Plus the vegan chocolate chips add that special touch so I couldn’t resist adding them to the mix.

    I hope you savor every last flavorful bite of these cozy bars!

      Hi Shannon,
      I am new to plant based eating and saw your presentation today at the Plant Based + Method Summit. I am always looking for simple easy vegan meals to follow. I just finished my 21 day challenge to see how I liked being vegan and surprising, it was easier than I thought to give up meat and dairy and just eat starch, veggie and fruit based instead. I am starting my journey eating this way. So far, so good. I feel great1 Thanks for your hormone presentation. I am also interested in clearing up the PMS symptoms I have by eating correctly so I enjoyed your presentation on that. Sincerely, Tanya an old Midwest girl and now a Cali girl.

      They were delicious! My partner and I are both vegan and stay away from refined sugar and these were a hit! I made them with almond butter which required a little extra cooking time but other than that they were perfect!

      I can’t wait to try this recipe!! I don’t eat gluten free so I don’t have GF flour… do you think I could sub spelt flour?

      Reply

        For sure! The recipe is forgiving and spelt flour is similar enough.

      Can you use almond flour instead of the GF all purpose flour?

        Hi Megan, I haven’t tried it so I’m not sure! Almond flour is a little different but you could definitely try it! You might have to adjust the wet ingredients (pumpkin and almond milk) to be a little less. I have tried it with a mix of oat flour and chickpea flour though and they turned out great so I think the recipe is forgiving with different flours 🙂

        Hope this helps!

    They don’t actually do anything 😵‍💫 You They don’t actually do anything 😵‍💫

You might think your coconut oil or argan oil are helping to heal your hair when it reality they don’t have a small enough molecular structure to deeply penetrate or repair from within. So they just sit there. And they’re difficult to wash out. Not to mention many of the popular hair oils are extremely flammable and synthetic 🔥 you don’t want to be putting this on your scalp ladies!

Rejuveniqe Oil is a light, non-greasy combination of 13 clinically proven rare oils & ingredients including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, and powerful nutrients. Think Abyssinian, carrot seed and meadowfoam oils. It’s perfect for all skin and hair types because of its unique structure. This oil mimics the body’s own oils to absorb more deeply and moisturize more effectively. It helps balance greasiness or dryness, depending on what your scalp needs ✨ and can be used as a skin & lip hydrator too 👄

On dry hair, this unique intensive treatment (without harmful silicones) can be used to:

• balance natural oils
• improve scalp texture
• hydrate & feed the scalp
• reduce itching, flakiness & skin irritation
• shinier, polished hair
• provide anti-aging benefits
• stimulate hair growth

Do you struggle with a greasy or dry/itchy scalp? Comment OIL to get started on weekly oil treatments 🦄🦄🦄

    IT’S TRUE ✨ I want to help more mamas be home IT’S TRUE ✨

I want to help more mamas be home with their babies. I want to help more women feel empowered to make money online. It’s the way of the future and social selling is just getting started. I want to help more stay at home mamas feel like it’s OKAY to want to have your own money to get your nails done and buy the organic groceries and expensive healthy snacks and get hydrafacials once a month. It’s okay to want more and it’s okay to want to take care of yourself. 

I do affiliate marketing too, but I make more in network marketing. Why? Because we have higher commissions (15-30%), bonuses and return customers due to it being a consumable product that people are obsessed with. You’re already sharing your collagen and electrolytes and favorite supplements… It’s a no brainer to also share the transformative vegan haircare you’re using.

    ARE YOU OILY? If you’re dealing with oily roots ARE YOU OILY?

If you’re dealing with oily roots and product buildup it’s time for a DEEP cleanse to rebalance.

Oftentimes when we’re oily it actually means our scalp is lacking moisture and overproducing oil to try and make up for it. Or it’s hormonal and needs to be managed. This calls for DEEP cleansing washes and oil treatments to get the scalp back to a better place.

My scalp scrub is the SECRET SAUCE. It purifies the oil and removes the residue that’s weighing your hair down without stripping or harsh ingredients. It dissolves dead skin cells, stubborn buildup and removes pollutants while infusing with moisture. You use your custom shampoo and conditioner after 👏🏻 

Let’s get your scalp healthy, happy and balanced again. Say goodbye to harsh clarifying treatments (been there done that).

    A LOT can happen in a year 🥲 Your life can com A LOT can happen in a year 🥲

Your life can completely change and turnaround for the better. But you have to do something different and step out of your comfort zone. Get out of your safe bubble. Before I joined this business I was a lonely new mama trying to figure out motherhood and making the decision to be a full time stay at home mama. It was the best decision I ever made. I still wanted something more though. I knew there were ways to make money online but my ways of affiliate marketing were not enough. So I prayed about it for a year straight, just waiting. Before the year was up, Monat literally FELL into my lap. The universe handed it to me and I knew instantly this was where I supposed to go. The freedom and flexibility is unmatched. I’ve worked really hard the last 10 months and while I’m still just getting started, my team is growing fast. I was able to go on my first fully paid for trip to Miami this summer with Monat. A real dream come true and pinch-me-moment. I feel confident again, I’m learning the skill of sales which everyone should master and I’m helping other women do the same. It’s really a no-brainer to do a business like this in today’s world. My life is forever changed 🥲🥲

    HERE’S HOW ⬇️ Healing the scalp starts with HERE’S HOW ⬇️

Healing the scalp starts with the right custom products and treatments. It means removing the buildup, waxes and silicones that cheap crappy products leave behind. It means allowing the scalp to breathe again by not using powder dry shampoos that clog the hair follicles and leave behind residue. 

HOW TO START:

1. Hair Oiling with Rejuveniqe oil - this is a liquid vitamin to feed and rebalance the scalp. It’s a proprietary blend of omegas, vitamins and plant oils that deeply penetrate the hair shaft and repair from the inside out. It’s a multipurpose oil for all scalp imbalances. Not to mention it preps the scalp for new growth.
2. Nutrient-dense shampoo - this will make the biggest difference. The products I use deeply cleanse and help control oiliness. There’s nothing else like them, trust me, I’ve tried them all. They’re oil-based, infused with rosemary (helps with growth) and functional.

🦄🦄🦄 If you’re in need of a hair transformation, comment HAIR or take my hair quiz and I’ll make a custom regimen for you 🩷
