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!
 

RAW SALTED ROSE CHOCOLATES

Roses and cacao, does it get any more loved up than that?! Whether it's for a loved one or just to show yourself some serious selflove these collagen filled, super food chocolates are where it's at this Valentine's Day. 

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup Cacao butter

1/2 cup coconut oil

1 &1/4 cup Cacao powder

1/4 cup collagen peptides

3 dates soaked (optional)

8 drops rose oil

1/4 tsp cinnamon

Garnish:

Cacao nibs

Pink Himalayan sea salt

HOW:

- Soak dates in 3 tbs of hot water and leave to the side.

- Melt cacao butter and coconut oil together, I would do this Bain marie style, (sauce pan of boiling water, with a bowl of the cacao & coconut floating on top) This technique will gently melt the ingredients without spoiling them. Once melted transfer to a bullet blender.

- Drain the dates, add to the bullet along with all other ingredients. Blend until this is thoroughly combined and looking super glossy.

- Pour mix into choc molds or you can do what i did and use a rubber ice cube tray. Sprinkle with cacao nibs and a touch of pink Himalayan sea salt and these bad boys are ready for the fridge.

- depending on the thickness, these could take anywhere from 20-60 mins to set.

- Once set pop them out, give them to your loved ones or give yourself some love and enjoy this decadent treat. Store in the fridge in an airtight container.

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!

God damn talk about delicious. This one will have you shocking guests when you tell them it's free of any nasty things and waistline friendly (yes this is one of those fat is your friend things) I'm telling you, it's THAT good.

This is pretty much entirely made in a NutriBullet / Blender and takes no more than 20mins (excluding fridge time). I'm a complete sucker for an easy, low fuss recipe and this is one of them. Not to mention that it ticks all those healthy boxes : Paleo, Dairy free, Gluten free, Sugar free and raw.

Serves 6

Remember this guy is super dense so it serves 6, I love making mini single serve cheesecakes in ramekins or cupcake trays because I love individual portioned desserts and it makes presentation and serving sooo much easier when having guests over for dinner.

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups raw cashews

1/2 cup apple sauce

1/2 cup frozen blueberries thawed - save a couple for topping

3 tbs lemon juice

4 tbs coconut oil - melted

1/3 cup golden flaxseed

2 tbs coconut oil

1/3 cup raw almonds 

2 medjool dates

1 tbs lacuma powder

1/2 tsp cinnamon

HOW:

"Cheesecake Filling":

• Take soaked cashews (make sure you've drained them) and place them in a bullet/blender. Blend til smooth.
• Add the blueberries, apple sauce, lemon juice to the cashew mix and continue to blend until creamy.
• Add all other ingredients to the mix and that's right you guessed it, BLEND AGAIN.
• Your "cheesecake" filling should be super smooth by this stage, place it in the freezer to cool down while you start the base!

Crust:

• Once again, all ingredients in the bullet (different cup to the cheesecake mix, that would just be weird and ruin the magic that's about the happen!) Blend until the mixture becomes bread crumb like.

PUTTING IT TOGETHER:

• Take cheesecake mix out of the freezer, try a bit ahhhhh talk about delicious right?!
• Take a ramekin about 2" wide and 2" deep or a glass and press 1/6 of the crust mix into the bottom for your base.
• Spoon 1/6 of the cheesecake mix on top and spread the top smooth.
• Top this bad boy with anything you like! I went with the semi lazy yet effective blueberries and lemon rind twist
• Repeat this X 6
• Place cheesecakes in the fridge for at least 30 mins and BOOM ready to serve. Prepare to have to have your mind blown.
