Peanut-Butter Carob Protein Freezer Cookies + Ice Cream

Oh my these actually taste like a Reese's peanut butter cup. I think the secret hear is adding salt or using a salted peanut butter. It adds so much to the flavour. We've been loving our freezer bakes! Especially since we're cutting back on grains and sugar.

3 tbsp peanut butter (natural stuff)
1/4 cup water
17 drops stevia
2 1/2 tbsp carob (or more depending on taste preference)
2 tbsp vanilla brown rice protein powder
salt (unless peanut butter is already salted)
2 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tbsp chia seeds

Combine peanut butter, water and stevia until a pudding consistency is achieved. Mix in other dry ingredients until a dough forms. Flatten into cookie shapes, freeze, makes 6 cookies.

Reese's...honestly

Amazingly fudge texture

Juice! : Carrot, Celery, Fennel, Dandelion, Mixed Greens

Chocolate Blueberry Ice Cream: Avocado, protein powder, frozen blueberries, carob and stevia blended w/ frozen blues added right in

Peanut Butter Mallow Blaster Cups + Hummus

We have another grain -free freezer treat for you this sunny Friday. Peanut Butter Mallow Blaster Cups! It sounds like a hard core junk food doesn't it? Believe it or not these little guys are completely sugar free and 100% pure.

Chocolate Coating:

3/4 cup almond butter
6 tbsp coconut oil, melted
20 drops vanilla stevia
1/2 cup carob powder

Mix all ingredients together. Layer 1 tbsp on the bottom of 6 baking cups. Place in the freezer for a few minutes.

Next, spread a bit of peanut butter on the chocolate coating and then dollop a bit of marshmallow creme (click link for recipe) over the peanut butter. Spoon on more of the chocolate coating until flat on top. Freeze for about 1/2 hour until chocolate is set.

Cuppa cuppa

Blast off!
We also made this edamame hummus but didn't write down the recipe! It's basically just hummus with edamame beans and chickpeas. :)

And this is our new favourite coconut water! It's frozen, raw and unpasteurized and therefore not as sweet as the canned or boxed coconut water, but it has such a complex, stronger taste and flavour. So refreshing!

Superfood Nut and Fruit Clusters + Stevia Giveaway

All of our baking has been in the freezer lately! Treats come together so quickly when you don't have to bake them. Plus it's been really hot lately which is really weird for Canada at this time of year. We don't really know what to do. Half of us are still wearing our winter coats afraid that it will start snowing again like it usually does. I personally have been wearing full out summer clothes everyday this week! I'm also keeping cool with my favourite freezer treats including these jam-packed nut and fruit clusters using superfoods and a carob-chocolatey coating. 

For the coating:

6 tbsp almond butter
3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
10 drops vanilla stevia
1/4 cup carob powder

Combine in a bowl, set aside.

1/4 cup each of:

Raw almonds
Raw cashews
Sacha Inchi seeds
Goji berries
Hemp seeds
Dried cranberries (juice sweetened)
Coconut shreds (I dusted mine with spirulina, didn't really stick though)

Add nuts and fruit into chocolate mixture and stir until fully-coated. Scoop out onto parchment paper in cluster shapes. Freeze for about 2 hours. Eat. Feel super.
