5. While this is baking, combine crumble ingredients in a bowl:

  • 3 T GF oats
  • 2 T cinnamon
  • 2 T almond meal (or coconut flour)

Supercharged Pumpkin Cacao Brownies

I've been REALLY craving something sweet the past few nights but not wanting to feel like absolute crap the next day because of that said sweet craving. These are delightful tasting, clean + actually give you ENERGY versus a tummy ache! The cacao can easily be swapped for carob and pumpkin for sweet potato. Gluten-free flours are optional. Have some fun + get creative! Be sure to share the love! 

 

{PIN THIS}

{GATHER}

  • 18oz organic pureed pumpkin (or you could use sweet potatoes! I would use 2-3 medium-large)
  • 2/3 C ground almonds
  • 1/2 C brown rice flour (I used 1/4 C brown rice and 1/4 C buckwheat flour)
  • 14-15 medjool dates
  • 4 T Cacao Magic
  • 3 T pure maple syrup
  • 2 pinches pink sea salt

{DO THIS}

  1. listen to Sigur Ros (just so we're on the same page)
  2. if you're using sweet potatoes or a whole pumpkin, cut into chunks and place into a steamer for about 20 min until they are soft. Once they are perfectly soft and falling apart, remove them and add to a food processor (or insert boxed/canned here) with the pitted dates.  
  3. Add remaining ingredients into a bowl, before mixing in the sweet potato/date combo. Stir well.                        
  4. Place into a lined baking dish and cook for about 20 minutes, until you can pierce the borwnie cake with a fork bringing it out dry.                                       
  5. Remove the tray and allow it to cool for 10 min, this is really vital as it needs this time to stick together! Remove the brownies from the tray, leaving it another few minutes before cutting them into squares.     
  6. Then enjoy with a glass of almond mylk (or wine, ahem) + share your pics! remember to tag @philosophiemama so we can see your gorgeous photos! xx

Cacao Magic Mocha Cake

We're going to a friends birthday party tonight. He is a gourmet chef to the stars and *he requested* I bring him a cacao magic cake! He is in LOVE with my superfoods which is such a complement (and accomplishment!). I get really excited when I can help someone who is the extreme opposite in terms of nutrition and health (he cooks with a lot of butter/cream etc) be inspired to get more nutrient dense foods into their daily life! I hope he loves this cake as much as I do... I tasted it as I was making it and it was absolutely Divine!

Here's what I created:

Sugarfree Cacao Magic {White} Chocolates!

You would never know these amazing chocolates are made from 4 ingredients, are RAW, gluten-free and SUGAR-free!

I wanted to make high protein, low sugar chocolates to satisfy my sweet tooth and my hunger!

Two or three chocolates would be the perfect power snack.

White Chocolates

you'll need:

  • molds for chocolates (bottom of a muffin tin would work)
  • 2 T Cacao Magic powder
  • 2 scoops organic vanilla Whey (if you're not using Philosophie approved whey, make sure you add stevia separately)
  • 1/4 C Organic coconut oil, melted (I put the jar inside hot water)
  • 1/4 C nut or seed butter of your choice (I used almond butter)

1. melt the coconut oil.

2. mix the coconut oil and nut/seed butter in a large bowl with a spoon until smooth.

3. add in the powders (you could also add green dream or berry bliss here)

4. fill molds or muffin tins. put into freezer for at least 30 minutes.

5. Eat and in-joy! <3

Lots of grabbing and whining for it. They were SO happy and elevated... all of us giggling, jumping, loving-- high on the superfood magic.

Here's the recipe I used (I tripled it for all of us):

  • 8 oz coconut mylk (can use almond, hemp or oat mylk)
  • 1 T Green Dream
  • 1 T Cacao Magic
  • 2 handfuls frozen organic kale
  • 2 ice cream scoops of coconut mylk Mint Chip vegan "ice cream"
  • fresh mint (about 10 leaves)
  • 1 T Cacao Nibs
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 T coconut oil
  • 1 T sunflower seed butter (could use any nut butter)

BLEND!
