Healthy 5 minute chocolates!
All natural and organic, gluten free, paleo, vegan, keto-ish.
Contains collagen and relaxing magnesium.
This is my favourite healthy (and super quick) mini chocolates recipe. My 3 year old daughter and I love these any time of the day, but I find that the soothing magnesium vibes are especially nice at night, with a cup of tea.
Ingredients:
1 / 2 cup of raw organic cacao powder
1 / 4 cup organic carob powder
2 tbsp flavourless collagen powder
1 / 3 cup coconut oil (grassfed butter is a delicious alternative!)
1 / 3 cup raw honey
1 / 3 cup of mixed ‘texture bits’
… eg: grated coconut, nuts or seeds of choice, goji berries or other dried berries.
2 x silicone ice cube trays
Method:
Combine powders in a mixing bowl
Melt coconut oil or butter on low-med heat in saucepan
Add honey to coco oil and heat til smooth
Pour honey oil into powders and combine thoroughly
Crush and chop nuts (or seed/coconut mix), add to mixture
Spoon mixture into silicone trays
Refrigerate until hard, about an hour or so.
Side note:
Carob powder can be substituted by other powders – get creative. I have used acai powder, beetroot powder, ashwagandha, and more. Carob adds a nice smoothness to the cacao but playing around each time has definite merits!
