Kai and I made these cookies together when we were both CRAVING chocolate chip cookies. They are so soft and coconutty (courtesy of some unsweetened shredded coconut)—you'd never know they are grain-free + gluten-free!

For this recipe, swap regular ol’ wheat flour for amazing almond flour! This wheat flour alternative is gluten-free, high in fiber, a good source of protein, and chock-full of iron, riboflavin, magnesium, potassium, vitamin E, and calcium. Quite the upgrade.

The Cacao Magic gives the cookie a lovely hint of chocolatey-ness, while also providing an energy-lifting burst of nutrients. Then sneak some serious detoxification powers into your treats with a spoonful of Green Dream. A serving of this superfood blend packs more protein than an egg, more iron than a serving of beef, less sugar than a stick of gum, and more fiber than bran cereal!

Once you’ve gathered all of the beautiful ingredients for your cookies, click play on the video below and get baking with me!

Gather This:

• 2 cups almond flour
• ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 teaspoon Green Dream Superfood + Protein Blend
• 1 teaspoon Cacao Magic Superfood + Protein Blend
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup honey
• 2 tablespoon chocolate chips

Do This:

Preheat oven to 350. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and the superfood blends.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, and vanilla until smooth. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Add chocolate chips.

Using a tablespoon, drop the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheets; repeat with all of the batter to make 6 cookies on each baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a cookie comes out clean. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.

I love eating ice cream in the winter just as much as I do in the summer – especially when I’ve whipped it up myself at home with dreamy, nourishing superfoods!

And if you scream for ice cream (especially the chocolatey variety), but don’t love the high sugar levels and energy crash that come with this decadent treat, this is the recipe for you.

The Coconut Magic Coconut Butter, coconut oil, and MCT oil (medium chain triglycerides) are easily absorbed by the body and actually supply quick + lasting energy (not something your average ice cream cone can do). You also get a natural energy boost courtesy of the organic cacao powder in our Cacao Magic Superfood + Protein Blend!

Plus, I’ve added 8 drops of apple cider vinegar to help balance your pH levels + promote a healthy heart.

And even though this Cacao Magic Ice Cream is super healthy, it doesn’t lack in flavor! The vanilla bean perfectly complements the chocolatey goodness of the cacao, and the Cacao Bee Honey adds a lovely touch of superfood-charged sweetness.

I also like to use beautiful organic eggs, which provide a healthy-dose of protein, create that creamy texture, and help your treat stay frozen and last longer in your freezer – so be sure to make extra :) 

Gather This:

• 3 whole organic eggs
• 4 organic egg yolks
• ¼ cup Cacao Magic Superfood + Protein Blend
• 6 tablespoons grass-fed butter
• 6 tablespoons of extra virgin coconut oil
• 4 tablespoons of MCT oil
• 1 ½ tablespoons vanilla bean, powdered
• 8 drops of apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Coconut Magic Coconut Butter
• 1 tablespoon Cacao Bee Honey
• ½ cup of ice

Do This:

Blend all ingredients, except the ice in your high-speed blender, making sure they’re blended thoroughly. Add the ice cubes and continue to blend well. Pour the mixture in your ice cream maker and follow that particular model’s instructions from there!

I LOVE sneaking nutrient-dense veggies into smoothie bowls. While leafy greens like spinach and kale are easy go-to's, sometimes it's fun to venture out and try something different. Like cauliflower! 

This snowy white cruciferous plant is perfect for ramping up the nutritional benefits in your brekie. Beyond supplying antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber, it offers up cancer-fighting compounds called glucosinolates. 

And while these phytochemicals are also behind the slightly bitter taste of cauliflower, when you blend it up with the chocolatey deliciousness of Cacao Magic, Cacao Bee, and Coconut Magic (not to mention 'nanas, almond butter, cinnamon, and vanilla), you're left with a dreamy, "I can't believe there's veggies in here!" treat to kickstart your day! 

Gather This:

• 2 bananas, frozen
• ¾ cup cauliflower
• 1 tablespoon Cacao Magic Superfood + Protein Blend
• 1 tablespoon Coconut Magic Coconut Butter
• 1 tablespoon collagen powder
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon almond butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon Cacao Bee Honey
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
• handful of goji berries
• a spoonful or two of Elemental Superfood Granola

Do This:

Blend all ingredients and top with cacao nibs, blueberries, coconut shreds, and crumbled Elemental Superfood Granola.

Happy Toast Tuesday, Philosophie Tribe!

For this week's sweet + savory combo, I used my favorite dairy-free cream cheese from Kite Hill, fresh strawberries, our Berry Bee Honey, and a sprinkling of hemp seeds for an added protein boost!

I especially love using our yummy, super-charged honey due to its antibiotic properties, energy-lifting powers, and plant-based protein from brown rice. This natural sweetener includes pomegranate, acai, goji, and camu-camu (ALL organic!), which are incredibly high in antioxidants. 

Berry Bee Honey also features mangosteen, an exotic fruit found in the Southeastern Asia that is low in calories AND rich in fiber. Last but not least, it includes maca, which is amazing for balancing energy and hormones.

For the finishing touch on your toast, sprinkle on a spoonful of hemp seeds! These are an excellent source of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, which promote cardiovascular health. Omega 6s have also been proven to naturally balance hormones. As a added bonus, hemp seeds help cleanse the colon and reduce those unhealthy cravings we all get thanks to their high fiber content.

Now that you've got the nutritional low-down on this beautifying brekie, get toastin'! 

Gather This:

• 1 slice of Udi’s Gluten-Free Bread
• 1.5 tablespoons Kite Hill dairy-free cream cheese
• 3-4 organic strawberries, sliced 
• 1.5 teaspoons Berry Bee Honey
• 1 teaspoon hemp seeds

I believe a home cooked-meal created with beautiful, nourishing ingredients + joyful energy is one of the greatest expressions of love.
