Sometimes sweet cravings come at the worst times, or you want something gorgeous for when friend are coming over so you NEED recipes that are quick, easy and delicious!
- 1 cup coconut oil (I use JT's Coconut Essence)
- 1 cup rice malt syrup (can use less if too sweet for you, I use Pure Harvest)
- 1 cup nut paste (use a pure nut paste i.e. just nuts! I use Nutworks and the Chocolate Factory macadamia paste)
- 2 tablespoons Nutra Organics vanilla protein powder (I love this stuff, all organic and it is also high in vitamin D, you get this HERE and enter codeword nutrafriends for 10% off for the next few days too!) {OPTIONAL}
- 1/2 cup goji berries
- 1/2 cup semi smashed raw macadamias
- Add runny coconut oil to a bowl, stir in rice malt syrup and mix together with a wooden spoon until it looks lovely and mixed.
- Stir in nut paste and vanilla powder.
- When well mixed add in nuts and goji berries.
- Pour into a container and put in the fridge to set.
- Leave for 1- 2 hours.
- Remove, cut up and enjoy!!
Toddler Tip
- Cut into small pieces as a little healthy treat, great fun for an afternoon tea party!
- I take runny coconut oil and put the bowl in the fridge for about 10 minutes or until I just see a light crystallization around the edges and then mix, it seems to blend together much creamier!
- we found this beautiful but also really sweet so you only need a small amount to satisfy those sweet cravings!
Eat Beautiful!

This sounds delicious and perfect for me when I'm staying off sugar. Do you need to go to a health food store to get the nut paste? Dropping in to say hi via #teamIBOT
ReplyDeleteHi Renee, any nut paste is fine, I try to look for a good pure nut paste, you can usally get these from health food shops and places like Jeffers on the Sunshine Coast, sometimes even coles, woolies iga will have them, I just really like the Nutworks macadamia one :)
DeleteCan't wait to try out this recipe. My daughter has Lyme's disease and only feels well when she stays off gluten, dairy and sugar. BUT - she still craves sweet things.
ReplyDeleteOh she will love this then Kalpanaa!!

DeleteYou can't go wrong with macadamias as an ingredient. These were always our go-to snack as kids :)
