If you love the classic chocolate and coconut combination of a Bounty bar but want a healthier, protein-packed version you can enjoy anytime, these no bake 3-Layer Bountiful Protein Bars are about to become a new favourite. Rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying, they deliver everything you love about the original – without refined sugars, artificial ingredients, or baking.

These bars are made with three distinct layers, each playing an important role in flavour, texture, and nourishment. The base layer is a soft chocolate protein foundation that adds structure and a rich cocoa flavour while delivering a boost of protein to keep you feeling full and energised. Instead of empty calories, this slice is built from whole-food ingredients that nourish your body while still tasting like a decadent treat.

The middle layer is where the magic really happens. Creamy, coconut-packed, and lightly sweetened, it recreates that iconic Bounty centre perfectly. Desiccated coconut gives the layer its signature texture, while coconut cream and natural sweeteners provide richness without overwhelming sweetness. Adding protein powder to this layer transforms it from a simple coconut filling into a satisfying, balanced snack that supports muscle recovery and sustained energy.

The final layer is a silky chocolate topping that brings everything together. Smooth, glossy, and just sweet enough, it sets beautifully in the fridge and creates that satisfying snap when you slice into the bars. Dark chocolate works best here, balancing the sweetness of the coconut layer and adding antioxidants along with indulgent flavour.

One of the best things about this recipe is how simple it is to prepare. There’s no oven, no complicated techniques, and no long ingredient lists. Each layer comes together in minutes, and the fridge does the rest. This makes these bars perfect for meal prep, healthy entertaining, or keeping a nourishing treat on hand when chocolate cravings strike.

Because these bars are high in protein and healthy fats, they are incredibly satisfying. A small slice goes a long way, making them perfect as an afternoon snack, post-workout treat, or healthier dessert option. They also store beautifully in the fridge and freezer, so you can make a batch and enjoy them over time.

If you are a fan of nostalgic flavours with a modern, health-focused twist, these no bake Bountiful Protein Bars are proof that you don’t need to sacrifice flavour for nourishment. Each layer delivers indulgence, balance, and satisfaction – making them a must-try recipe for chocolate and coconut lovers alike. ✨
