Treats

These were so yummy!!

Carrot and coconut balls made with coconut butter, maple syrup, sea salt, vanilla beans, ceylon cinnamon, shredded carrot, pineapple, lemon juice and zest, toasted cashews and oats. I rolled the balls in shredded coconut. The light blues ones are rolled in shredded coconut and e3Live spirulina powder and the purple ones are rolled in shredded coconut, spirulina and Your Super forever beautiful.

*these would have been even better with walnuts or pecans instead of cashews, but I had to work with ingredients I had on hand.

Treats!

These were fantastic! It was the first time I’ve made them, so I want to make a little tweak before releasing the recipe. Recipe coming next week!

Almond and chocolate cookie dough balls are made with almond butter, dates, coconut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, sea salt, oats and Four Sigmatic chocolate.

I love Four Sigmatic products! Their mushroom chocolate is a delicious dark chocolate bar. It has inspired me to infuse my chocolate recipe with their wonderful mushrooms (recipe coming soon).
