"No Nuts Balls" Raw Decadent Chocolate Bliss Balls (Nut Free, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Easy as can be!)

These "No Nuts Ball's" are so delicious! I love how a raw healthy treat can look so cheeky!

This is a really simple recipe which is great to whip up if you have a chocolate craving or if you want to have a little treat for guests post dinner with a cup of tea. As they are nut free they also make a great lunch box treat which is what I have made them for tonight! (Even though I may have eaten a couple... I have to test them first right!?).

Ingredients:

1 cup organic shredded coconut, reserving a little to coat balls at the end

8 medijool dates (seeds removed)

2 tbs chia seeds

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1 heaped tablespoon raw cacao powder

a splash of chilled water if you need it

Directions:

Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and blitz until combined and smooth. If needed add the splash of chilled water.

Then roll into balls, coat in coconut and refrigerate overnight (if you have time, otherwise a couple of hours is fine) and in the morning they will be like beautiful decadent chocolate truffles.

Enjoy!

RECIPE | Raspberry & Coconut Smoothie Bowl

This is a super simple recipe for a deliciously refreshing bowl of goodness. Perfect for a hot summer day. I've been eating these for breakfast, lunch & dessert! The ingredients can be mixed and matched with whatever you have in the fridge but this combination is one of my favourites!

Ingredients:

1 frozen banana

1 cup frozen raspberries

1/2 of a mango 

1/2 cup ice

1/2 cup coconut milk or I use coco-quench by pure harvest

1 tablespoon raw honey

1 /2 teaspoon maca powder

2 tablespoons shredded coconut

1 teaspoon chia

Directions:

Blend all of the ingredients until smooth. If you don't have a great blender, it's best to add a little bit of each ingredient a little at a time to help it blend better. 

Easy peasy!

Enjoy!

RECIPE | Overnight Soaked - Brekky in a Jar

There is something about eating out of a jar that just makes it all the more special to eat.. No idea why, I guess it is just the novelty factor. When I am in need of a super energising brekky which is a bit more filling than a smoothie, I always opt for a "Brekky in a Jar". 

The possibilities are endless with what you can put in these jars, but here are a couple of my favourites :)

Overnight Soaked Chia & Oats Brekky in a Jar

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon chia seeds
Half cup rolled oats
3/4 cup milk of choice (I am loving coconut milk at the moment)
Handful of frozen blueberries
1 tablespoon of dessicated coconut
2 teaspoons maple syrup 

Directions:
Mix together chia seeds with oats and stir in milk
Allow to sit on bench for 10 minutes 
Stir again to ensure the chia soaks up all the milk properly (otherwise it goes clumpy)
Put in fridge over night

In the morning you can layer your brekky in a jar. I layer all of the ingredients and add a little maple syrup over the coconut. I like to put frozen blueberries on top so by the time I get to work they are defrosted and the juice runs through the other ingredients :)


Overnight Soaked Chocolate Chia & Raspberry Brekky in a Jar

Ingredients:
2 tablespoon chia seeds
1 cup milk of choice (I am loving coconut milk at the moment)
Handful of frozen raspberries
Handful of slivered almonds
2 teaspoons raw cacao
2 teaspoons maple syrup 

Directions:
Mix together chia seeds with cacao and stir in milk
Allow to sit on bench for 10 minutes 
Stir again to ensure the chia soaks up all the milk properly (otherwise it goes clumpy)
Put in fridge over night

In the morning you can layer your brekky in a jar. I layered all of the ingredients and added some loving earth chocolate buckinis on top.. You could just add extra almonds or other nuts, it is nice for some extra crunch!

Enjoy!
