These are definitely a special occasion treat but also a great snack to bring to a party, especially if you’re trying to convert the people there toward eating cleaner, this shows them that natural, wholesome food doesn’t mean tasteless & can actually feel so naughty!
While making these I couldn’t wait to put my face in……. I mean, taste, the “nutella”.

This recipe was a happy accident resulting from me throwing a bunch of my favourite ingredients into a food processor and hoping for the best, luckily for me, they taste amazing, seriously, I’m not just saying that, I was really surprised by how good these tasted! The beans and nut butter make them creamy and the crunchy cacao nibs throughout give a cookie dough texture 💕
A major bonus is that they are the perfect pre/post workout snack and sooooo nutritious, there’s so much magnesium, fibre & protein in this recipe & is loaded with anti-inflammatory omega 3 fats due to the chia & hemp.
Per dough ball: 6.6g protein

I just finished a HIIT workout today in very warm weather which I’m not use to here in Ireland and was really in need of something cooling, this did the trick, plus as it’s made from frozen bananas it counts as 1 of your 5 a day! Bonus!
Leave yourself approx 2 hours to freeze the bananas before you plan on eating this.

This recipe is a great way to sneak some healthy green powder into your breakfast for a nutrition boost. Moringa is high in vitamin K and iron (among others), which can be hard for some people to get, plus one advantage to consuming it is that you only need a small amount for a big nutritional impact (
Aduna brand):
approx 96% vitamin K per 4.5g! Start out with small amounts if you haven’t used it before.
Note: Do not
use it if you’re pregnant/on blood thinners-speak to a doctor first.
The other ingredients in this meal provide you with plenty of healthy fat and slow release energy to boost the rest of your day!
Moringa can be purchased in health food stores or
online (more…)
