Craving something sweet but you know its no good for you?
Try this simple and easy super nutritious guilt free recipe!
Please note that some of the superfood powders i have used are optional and are not needed for this recipe. I add them to power it up and for all the unique benefits they offer.
I base my measurements off intuition and taste. You can use less sugar, more cacao etc. depending on your personal taste.
Note: you can opt out of avocado oil and choose to simply go with coconut oil or the oil of your choice.
Ingredients
2-3 tbsp Raw cacao powder
2 cups Hazel nuts
1 tbsp Coconut oil
1 tbsp Avocado oil
2-3 Dates
1 tsp Coconut sugar
1/2 tsp Ashwagandha
1/2 tsp Maca
1/2 tsp Ginseng
1/2 tsp Mucuna Kapikacchu
Instructions
lightly roast the hazel nuts on very low heat for 5 minutes
Use a food processor for this as a blender may not yield the desired result- put your hazel nuts and oil in and process until creamy.
Add dates, powders, and sugar.
Blend until creamy and smooth
Et voila! Super easy
