Raw Chocolate Date Bars | Vegan GF

By 1 Comment

I am all about the minimal ingredient recipes. I love that these raw chocolate date bars can be made with as little as 4 ingredients, and they are naturally refined-sugar free, gluten-free and vegan. A simple healthy dessert recipe that can be made in batches, and frozen for later – when you need that sweet treat.

Raw Date Bars Cut Into Squares On Baking Paper

The best thing about making raw desserts is that they are naturally free of refined flour and refined sugar. Most of the time they are sweetened with dates, which are not only a great natural sweetener, they are also packed full of fibre and potassium. Here is my recipe for a Raw Chocolate Date Bars which rivals my other favourite raw chocolate date bar recipe, this favourite Raw Chocolate Brownie with Caramel Icing.

Looking for the perfect bowl of oatmeal? Look no further. This recipe for orange chocolate oatmeal for breakfast is so simple to make, and the combination of flavours makes it feel like dessert in the morning.

Orange Chocolate Oatmeal in Bowls on White Linen

Nothing better on these cold, dark mornings than a nice steaming bowl of nourishing oatmeal for breakfast. My smoothies have taken a back seat, but with them has gone my daily addition of medicinal mushroom blend. Medicinal mushrooms have been making regular appearances in health enthusiast diets and for good reason! I love adding a chocolate mushroom powder blend to my oatmeal, which when combined with orange marmalade, makes this delicious orange chocolate oatmeal for breakfast.

Two Ingredient Raw Chocolate Recipe [Vegan]

By 6 Comments

Making 100% raw chocolate at home has never been easier, no added oils or fussing required. This Two Ingredient Raw Chocolate Recipe is as authentic as it gets and packed full of flavanols for an antioxidant punch!

Heart Raw Chocolate On White Plate with Red Ribbon

The use of chocolate medicinally dates back at least 3,000 years. The health benefits have been linked to epicatechin, a flavanol found in the cacao bean (1), and current day research supports its use for various health conditions. If you’re a chocolate lover like me you likely appreciate the full complexity of flavour that real good quality chocolate provides. In my experience, making chocolate from 100% raw cacao beans is the only way to replicate this flavour intensity at home. This is my Two Ingredient Raw Chocolate Recipe, packed full of antioxidants AND the bonus is, it is SO easy to make!

Medicinal Dark Chocolate Bark Three Ways [Vegan, GF]

By 3 Comments

This post for Dark Vegan Chocolate Bark Made Three Ways is sponsored by iHerb. As always the opinons are absolutly my own.
Vegan and GF Medicinal Mushroom Chocolate Bark Three Ways

For me, nothing compares to the dedication and ingenuity of a homemade DIY Christmas Gift. The reducing, reusing and repurposing helps lessen our environmental footprint during this season of excess. Some take advantage of their handy nature, while others zone in on their crafty skills, but for me, I often gift edible Christmas presents which has included Peanut Butter Energy Balls or Toasted Muesli In a Jar in the past. This Medicinal Dark Vegan Chocolate Bark Made Three Ways is made using maple syrup and real cocoa butter for the authentic chocolate taste. Some of my favourite flavour combinations for this Chocolate Bark include Peppermint and Toasted Coconut, Cherries and Toasted Almonds, and Coffee and Cacao Nibs. This Christmas I’ve also added a little medicine (or some may say magic) to this bark for a truly healthy start to the New Year.

Avocado Mousse in White Bowl with Avocado on side

This recipe for avocado chocolate mousse is dear to my heart. My grandfather was the type to not be a fan of anything outside his norm. I tried serving him homemade sushi once, and it was no secret that it wasn’t his favourite meal. So when I wanted to serve him avocado for dessert what did I do? Not tell him of course, and it turns out that he loved it! This recipe is decadent and delicious. This combination of honey, coconut cream, and real dark chocolate makes for a delicious dessert on their own – the avocado is just a bonus!
