I had so much fun sharing my delicious Philosophie superfood truffles with everyone at the three events this past weekend. Since then, I have received tons of requests for the recipe, so here are the super simple instructions for making a post-workout or anytime treat that is just as delicious as it is nutritious!

I made these grain-free, paleo + gluten-free cookies today + basically dropped dead after trying them. I can't begin to tell you how amazing they are... and even the kids + hubby were head over heels in LOVE! They are soft, pillowy, tasty + SO HEALTHY! I can promise you, there isn't a person in your life that won't adore these: health nut or not! The Cacao Magic superfoods in this recipe sets it apart from other recipes out there. Cacao Magic has energizing raw cacao, hormone balancing maca root, healing medicinal reishi + omega rich chia seeds. What are you waiting for?

place in a bowl of a stand mixer or in food processor:

• 1/3 C coconut oil
• 1/4 C blood orange juice or passion fruit juice
• 1 C coconut sugar 
• 3 dates

set aside:

• 2 eggs (or to make vegan, 2 chia seed eggs)
• 2 t vanilla extract

whisk together:

• 1 C almond flour
• 1/4 C coconut flour
• 3/4 C cacao magic powder
• 1 t baking soda
• 1/2 t salt

set aside:

• 1 C chocolate pieces/chunks (we like Enjoy Life brand)

DO THIS:

1. Blend together coconut oil, blood orange juice, sugar + dates in the bowl of a food processor until smooth.

2. Add eggs/chia seed eggs + vanilla, pulse until combine.

3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, cacao magic powder, baking soda + salt. Toss in the chocolate pieces.

4. Add the flour mixture to the batter + pulse until just combined.

5. Drop by the scoop or spoonful onto parchment paper lined cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for about 10 min, or just until they start to set on the very edges of the cookie.

They will continue baking after you remove them form the oven.

It's so nice to make your own bars + be prepared for the week ahead with snack ammo. These are slightly sweet with no added sugar. If you want to make them a wee bit sweeter you could add 2 tablespoons of agave or honey. yum!

{If you do more goji berries and add a tablespoon of Berry Bliss, this would be the perfect bar for valentines day! Use a heart cookie cutter to make them beautiful little hearts! Great gift for kiddos to give their friends since you could omit the cashews and they would be nut free/gluten-free!}

• 1/4 C + 1 t coconut oil
• 1 C [packed] Medjool dates, pits removed
• 1 T vanilla extract 
• 1 T green dream powder
• 1 T cacao magic powder
• 1 1/2 C gluten-free rolled oats
• 1/2 C coconut flour
• 1 handful raw cashews [optional]
• 1/4 C coconut milk or any dairy-free milk
• 3/4 t baking soda
• 1/3 C hemp seeds
• 1/2 t sea salt [i used pink Himalayan]
• 1/4 C cacao nibs [optional]
• 1/4 C goji berries [optional]

Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with 1 t coconut oil, or use parchment paper. 

In a small saucepan, melt the remaining coconut oil into a warm liquid. Pour the coconut oil into a food processor, add the dates, coconut milk, vanilla extract and Philosophie superfood powders [green dream + cacao magic]. Blend until a smooth paste ha formed, stopping the machine and scraping down the sides when needed. I added a handful of cashews at this point, it's completely optional + the bars will taste awesome without them!

In a large bowl, mix together oats, flour, baking soda, salt and hemp seeds. Stir in the date mixture and mix well. Fold in the cacao nibs and goji berries.

Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet with a spatula [or fingers, like me] forming it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the wet dough into about a dozen rectangles or desired shape. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges begin to turn golden brown and are cooked through. Let cool, then separate the rectangles and in-joy! 

Orange fleshed squash such as acorn and butternut are a large storehouse of beta-carotene. On top of being an antioxidant to help fend off those pesky cell-damaging free radicals, beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A in the body that helps with immune defense and good vision. You could also do this entire recipe with pumpkin... or half and half! the bonus of sneaking Philosophie Green Dream in this recipe helps boost the nutrition and adding protein!

2. Scoop the squash out, allow to cool and puree in your food processor. Set aside.

3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, chia seeds, green dream, baking soda & powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and pumpkin spice and set aside.

4. In a large bowl, whisk together the agave, vanilla, eggs substitute and butter. Add the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Then whisk in the butternut squash puree. My batter was a little dry so I added a little almond milk and Organic canned pumpkin.

5. Prepare your muffin pan and add the batter a little over halfway. I made 12 cupcakes, you can make more. Bake at 350º for 18 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center and check to see if it comes out clean.

I've been really missing my moms chewy, rich, homemade fudge. It was her grandmothers recipe + it left you feeling hung over + depressed because of the sugar rush. This recipe was an attempt to recreate the fudge satisfaction I so long for, without the downsides of having processed sugar + a crash. (bonus of being vegan, raw + gluten-free!)

{gather this}

1 C Cacao Magic powder

1 C cacao butter

1/2 C cashew butter (or almond/peanut)

1 1/2 C liquid sweetener

1/4 t pink sea salt

1 T hazelnut or almond extract

{GARNISH}

chopped candied hazelnuts, goji berries, cacao nibs and/or candied walnuts

{ DO THIS }

Prepare 9" square cheesecake pan by greasing the sides with coconut oil and lining the bottom with parchment paper.

Blend all ingredients except candied hazelnuts until smooth. Pour into prepared pan. Add garnish. Put into freezer until fudge is solid. Serve at room temperature. 

Yields ~ 3 dozen pieces

This recipe is for the most delicious and nutrient-dense protein bars you could ever make.

I've been getting kind of grossed out lately when I eat store bought protein/energy bars. The fact that most of those bars (even the most healthy ones) can sit on a shelf for over a year and not sprout an inch of mold concerns me. That I could save one of the boxes until I'm a grandma and feed it to my grandkids is just not cool. Don't get me wrong, they are GREAT to have on hand in emergencies and I definitely store them in my diaper bag and car, I would just PREFER to feed myself and my family something more fresh and handpick the ingredients myself.

These bars aren't very sweet, in fact, the only thing they are getting any sweetness from is the stevia in the whey protein I use. If you want them a tad sweeter, I would add a local, organic, raw honey from the farmers market. Honey would taste amazing in these!

Gather:

• 1/2 C sunflower seeds
• 1/2 C pumpkin seeds
• 1 C oats
• 1 T green dream powder
• 2 T coconut oil (i like Garden of Life brand)
• 3 T cashew butter (Artisana has a great one)
• 4 T vanilla whey protein powder
• 2 T goji berries
• 1 T berry bliss powder
• optional 1 T honey, agave or coconut sugar
• any baking pan or dish, I used a 9x12 ceramic baking dish.

Combine: (in food processor)

1. Take the oats, sunflower seeds, goji berries and pumpkin seeds and grind in the food processor until they form a powder/flour.
2. add the green dream, berry bliss and vanilla whey protein powder. pulse a few times.
3. add the cashew butter, coconut oil and optional honey and mix until combined.
4. test the consistency. If it's too dry to from into a ball then add 1/2 T cashew butter and 1/2 T coconut oil and mix again. if it's too moist add 1/2 T whey protein powder. When desired consistency is reached, press the mixture into the pan and flatten. Put the dish, uncovered, into the fridge for 30-60 minutes. Remove from fridge, cut into bars. Cover individual bars in foil/wrap or put a couple into plastic baggies. I've been doubling this recipe and making on Sunday's to have for the week for the family. It's the perfect snack on the go! We've been eating it for breakfast with fresh fruit :)

Note: keep the bars in the fridge. Don't remove until just before you're going to eat them. They get really crumbly and melt when they aren't refrigerated!
