Guilt-free Raw Macadamia & Goji Fudge Sticks

 

These fudge bars are seriously amazing! They are so, so delicious and completely satisfy my chocolate cravings. I don’t know about you, but chocolate is to me what cigarettes are to a smoker. I am completely addicted! Despite chocolate being not great for our health, I cannot quit, nor do I want to! That’s why I’ve been looking for healthier alternatives. You don’t need a large portion to kick the cravings, although it tastes so good you will need to restrain yourself from finishing the whole block! They are sugar free (apart from a little bit of sugar in the goji berries), dairy free and gluten free. A perfect dessert/snack for all of our friends with sensitive bellies.

Creamy Green Pea & Asparagus Risotto

 

Now this is a delicious winter warmer! A creamy risotto using brown rice as the base, bulked up with peas and creamed up with a lovely cashew nut cream. It also serves very well the next day as lunch. This dish wins for our sensitive friends, being gluten and dairy free & vegan. 

Creamy Hemp Smoothie

 

Man, is this smoothie delicious or what! It is thick, creamy and filling. This bad boy keeps me full right up to a late lunch. It packs a good protein punch to help keep satiety post-workout and through a busy schedule. Hemp seeds boast multiple nutritional benefits, have a gorgeous pine-nutty flavour, and are a wonderful addition to create a creamy texture to a soup or smoothie.
