The best ice cream you'll ever try...promise!

Sometimes keeping it simple is seriously the best option. My little sister and I came off a 28-day juice fast last week (thank you Jason Vale!) and she was concerned about feeling restricted about her diet here-on-in.

 

We spent a few hours in the kitchen going through some basic recipes that you can still indulge in, without the guilt or feeling the compromise!

 

Below is a banana/mango and macadamia ice-cream with a 'chocolate' brownie and frozen raspberries.

 

The ice cream is essentially frozen banana and frozen mango placed into the Vitamix with a handful of macadamias. I've sprinkled a few cacao nibs on top.

 

The 'chocolate' brownies comes from the wonderful recipe you can find here: http://eatdrinkpaleo.com.au/chocolate-brownies-that-blew-me-away/ 

 

This seriously lives up to its name and will blow you away - you will never guess the ingredients once you have a taste! The next time I make them, I might add some orange rind or chilli for a different flavour also.

 

There you have it, guilt-free and such a beautiful dessert!

 

 

My kind of raw bliss balls

These balls are incredibly easy, guilt-free and raw. I don't usually use any measuring devices, I go with the feel, texture and cheeky test tastes in between.

Ingredients include:

- Activated almonds, macadamia and hazelnuts 

- sesame seeds 

- hemp seeds 

- liquorice root

- star anise

- true cinnamon, ground 

- maca 

- cacao

- carob

- clove

- vanilla bean or organic vanilla essence

- coconut dessicated

- cranberries (optional)

- medjool dates

- ginger

- Celtic sea salt 

- coconut oil 

In a food processor place the vanilla bean, ginger, star anise, liquorice root and Celtic salt, blend into a paste.

Add rest of ingredients, keeping some of the sesame seeds, carob and hemp seeds aside. Use a tamper to assist in bringing the mix together.

Spoon a mix onto your palm and create bite-sized balls. Alternate rolling these in hemp, carob or sesame seeds.

Place in fridge for 10 minutes.

Enjoy!!
