I have a problem. I really like baked goods. Especially in the afternoon, anything sweet really, although fruit just hasn’t been cutting it lately. I need more. But when I eat too much processed food and sugar I sleep really badly; then I’m tired; and then I want more sugar in the afternoon to stay awake. It’s a sugary, circular battlefield. To solve this ‘problem’ (really I’m using that term in a pretty fast and loose way – my problem is on the pathetic side!) I’m trying to find low fructose, whole food solutions that are free of refined sugar to stop this cruel circle. Saving lives over here, solving world problems and the like haha.
LIGHT AND CRUNCHY SUPERFOOD MUESLI
This muesli is so delicious it’s hard for me not to just eat it all right off the oven tray. You can play around with the ingredients but I think the mix of psyllium husk, coconut, puffed amaranth and brown rice, nuts and oats gives this muesli the most amazing texture.
CHOCOLATE DATE AND ALMOND BLISS BALLS
These could be called chocolate, date, almond, coconut bliss balls as they are rather coconutty too. But then I would just be listing ALL the ingredients. Well almost. Super simple to make and a delicious snack. For whatever reason they taste better after they’ve rested in the fridge for a bit. I don’t know how long this phenomenon occurs for though as they only lasted 2 days in my house!
