Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

First time using PB2 I bought off Amazon (for the peanut flour). LOVED IT. I had it for breakfast and must say it can kill all your cravings for sweets and will additionally keep you satisfied until lunch.

Barley Water

Drinking barley water is a way to increase your milk supply when you're breastfeeding. It's so easy to make!!! During my baby's first months I made this recipe a couple of times when I didn't have alcohol-free beer around (also recommended by my midwife).

Note: It's not gluten-free!

Chocolate Overnight Oats Brownie Batter

That's just perfect. Breakfast is best when made it into some sort of dessert. For a raw dessert, use cacao nibs like I did instead of chocolate chips.

Dark Chocolate Nut Butter Cups

This is absolutely awesome! The filling reminds me the one inside a Brazilian bonbon I used to love called Serenata de Amor.

I used my homem,ade coconut oil chocolate recipe and therefore these cups must be kept in the fridge.

Caffeine-free Chocolate Avocado Fudge Pops

One of my “main” cravings these days is eating cold things due to the changing weather. These pops are also perfect for your children: this version is totally kid-friendly, keeping their caffeine consumption to a minimum.

Ingredients:

2 ripe Hass avocados
1 and ½ cups vegan milk (I used oat milk)
½ cup maple syrup
⅓ cup carob powder (or cacao powder - that has caffeine)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Directions:

Blend everything and pour into ice pop molds. Freeze for at least 8 hours.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Mousse

This was a total accident: leftovers from a frosting were left in the fridge for a day. When I checked it, it had gotten so airy and soft that I simply ate it with a spoon as a mousse! It deserved the status of a dessert by itself.

Chipotle Caramel Sauce

Having a jar of caramel sauce in your fridge will make your life sweeter in a few seconds.



Drizzle it over ice creams, desserts and even in your coffee if you're in the mood...

NOTE: As a sub for the chipotle seasoning I used smoked paprika.

Raw Vegan Chocolate Covered Salted Caramels

This is SOOOOO good!!! I almost ate all the filling before finishing the recipe. It's a wonderful healthy option to kill you cravings.



Didn't add anything at all in terms of sweetener because it was already sweet enough for me -- taste the filling before you add it. I also don't like stevia very much, so I believe you just have to add what you like.

IMPORTANT: Since it's coating is based on coconut oil, remember they are NOT to-go treaties. They must be kept in the fridge.

Chocolate Salami Makeover

A quick no bake chocolate biscuit bar. Just roll it into a log, freeze and its a winner.

I will have to remember to make half recipe next time, this was a HUGE log! I also highly recommend freezing it into a ball first before rolling and feezing for some minutes because the dough at firt is a little bit too wet.
