UNICORN PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

An adaption from my Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Balls, these guys are not only delicious but magical too. Because everyone needs some sparkle in their life, right?!

Using beetroot powder and blue algae to flavor and color the balls with their superfood goodness and edible glitter to make them shine, these are one of those instagrammable treats that are good all around.

UNICORN PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup cashews
1/2 cup peanuts
1/2 cup pb2 powder
1/4 cup coconut oil
3/4 cup apple sauce
1 tbs lacuma powder
3/4 cup vegan vanilla protein
2 tbs desiccated coconut
1/4 cup almond meal
2 tablespoons beetroot powder
2 tablespoons blue algae

HOW:
- Take the peanuts and the cashews and give them a quick 5 Sec whiz in a bullet Bullet blender. The idea is to keep them rough and chunky, this will keep your balls texturally exciting. Transfer them to a medium sized mixing bowl.
- Add the remainder of the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl and stir until combined.
- Add the apple sauce and get mixing! The mixture should start to be getting a little dough like. You want this to stay on the dryer side but still mould-able. If it's too dry add 1 tbs of water and stir again.
- It's now time to be a baller and get Rollin'! Divide your batter into three bowls, adding the beetroot powder to one batch, the blue algae to another and keeping one third of the batter plain. Mix well.

- Aim for balls about 1 inch or so in diameter. The mix should make around 15-17 balls depending on size.

-Mix up your glitter and roll the balls through it! More glitter, less bitter!
- Store in an air tight container in the fridge and enjoy!

GLUTEN FREE COOKIE DOUGH CUPS

This one doesn't need any words except GET IN MY FACE. I was on a mission to create something insanely delicious yet still keeping me on point with my eating, I mean we are in our last weeks of summer, why ruin the beach body now?! After playing around in the kitchen who knew the answer was chickpeas and protein powder and believe it or not but these tick all the healthy boxes; Sugar free, vegan, gluten free, raw, dairy free, grain free so yes I have literally made magic happen haha. Oh and did I mention that this is another easy bendable thing too?! 🙈 So now there's no excuse to not make these immediately.

INGREDIENTS:

Paper/foil Cupcake trays X 8

1 can of chick peas

1 scoop vanilla or choc protein powder (this can either be vegan or whey and which ever flavor you decide on will just slightly flavor the cookie dough so this can be whatever give like!)

1/3 cup almond meal

2 tbs flax meal

1 tsp baking soda

1 cup almond milk

Chocolate:

1/3 cup cacao powder

1/4 cup melted coconut oil

HOW:

- Rinse and drain the can of chick peas and add to bullet blender.

- Add almond milk and blend until smooth.

- Add all other ingredients and blend again.

- Sample this bad boy, assess if you need to add more protein powder or not. If you need a slightly sweeter taste then add another tbs and blend again (you could also use stevia if needed),  then praise me for being a genius and then put the container in the freezer while you start on the cups. 

- Combine the coconut oil and cacao in a small bowl until a smooth chocolate is formed.

- Lay out paper cupcake trays and start to fill one at a time with the chocolate. Use 2 tbs of the choc per tray, swirl the choc around the tray so the base is covered and it runs up the sides 3/4 of an inch high. Set the other half of the choc mixture aside, you'll need this for the tops in 5 mins.

- Place choc moulds in freezer to set for 5 mins

- Take out both the choc moulds and the cookie dough. One mould at a time spoon 1 tbs of the cookie dough into the cupcake mould patting it down as flat as possible, continue this for all 8

- Now for the tops! Take 1 tbs of the choc and drizzle on top of the cookie dough, spread it around to create a "lid" on your cup.

- Place in the freezer for 5 mins, then transfer to the fridge until ready to eat. Enjoy!

VEGAN LAMINGTON PROTEIN BALLS:

Ok so I'm getting all patriotic over here in NYC and have recreated an allergy/ healthy version of an Aussie classic; THE LAMINGTON. For those who have no idea what a Lamington is, let me enlighten you. It's a cube of vanilla sponge, dipped in chocolate then rolled in coconut and it's insanely delicious but sadly not so good for you. So I didn't get the cube part down pat but it ticks all the nerdy health freak boxes (#paleo #glutenfree #vegan #sugarfree and #dairyfree) making them more or less guilt free!

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup cashews

1/2 cup vegan vanilla protein

1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes

1.5 tbs mct powder (optional)

1/4 cup almond meal

1 tbs mesquite powder

8 tbs melted coconut oil

1/4 cup desicated coconut + extra for rolling

2 heaped tbs of cacao powder

1/4 cup water

HOW:

- Whiz the 1/2 cup cashews in a blender for 30 seconds so they are not completely blended

- In a small bowl combine the 2 tbs of cacao with 4 tbs of the melted coconut oil, this should make a smooth chocolatey syrup type consistency. Set this aside this is to coat your balls after they have been made

- In a medium sized bowl, combine all of the remaining dry ingredients.

- Add 4 tbs of coconut oil and half of the water and mix thoroughly. We are aiming for a dry dough like mix, slowly add the rest of the water if needed to achieve this. 

- Rollin' time! Take the mix and roll into balls about 1 & 1/2 inches in diameter as you finish rolling each ball, place in a bowl in the fridge.

- Once all of the balls are rolled it's time to coat these delicious things in the choc. Dip one at a time in the choc then into desiccated coconut.
