Raw chocolate pistachio goji hearts

by Siobhan | Sep 25, 2015 | Desserts, Grainfree, vegan

I was really craving some chocolate recently and had some spare pistachios leftover & these beauties were the result & oh so good for you too!

Recipe:
*50g cacao butter
*2 generous tablespoons cacao powder
*2 tablespoons sweetener (i like to use sweet freedom)
*a tspn vanilla essence
*50g pistachios/gojis/ other nuts e.g nut butter however i found that when using nut butter it tends to seep out of the edges so using whole nuts is handier. (more…)

Firstly, these look a bit haphazard as I couldn’t wait to eat them so didn’t bother getting a spoon/piping set & just smeared it on with a fork!
I whipped up this delicious, citrus baobab frosting (in less than 2 mins) which tastes amazing plus it is packed with Vitamin C & antioxidants!

Super spirulina smoothie!

by Siobhan | May 3, 2015 | Breakfast, Grainfree, snack, vegan

Here’s the recipe of one of my favourite smoothies to make. Now the colour of it may make some people want to run for the hills but lets not forget that old saying “don’t judge a book by its cover“. This really does taste good or else I wouldn’t be drinking it! The banana makes it sweet, the almond milk makes it creamy & it’s oh so good for you =)

Spirulina (or any dark green food) is great for your body, I’ll be doing a post on the benefits of green soon but just to quickly mention some of spirulina’s here: a source of A & E, beneficial fatty acids (LA), vitamin B12 (note: some of the B12 can be an inactive form, but some can be use-able, it varies between products, the same goes for chlorella), iron & a great source of chlorophyll which your liver loves!
Source yourself a good spirulina i.e check the brand is organic and that it tests for any contaminants before packaging (EU brands by law must do this, definitely check this if it’s not an EU one).
