Paleo Coconut & Cacao Slice
Indulge yourself with all of the pleasure and none of the guilt! Improve your mood and burn fat with these simple ingredients.
You will need:
3 cups of desiccated coconut
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 cup of dates
2 Tablespoons of cacao
Instructions:
* Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and sticky.
* Empty contents into a baking dish or onto a lined baking tray.
* Press mixture flat (I use a glass jar to roll the mixture flat).
* Cut into squares and refrigerate until hard.
NB: this slice doesn't make a good lunch box snack as it needs to be kept cold.
These little slices of heaven will help keep you fuelled for longer through out the day. These 4 simple ingredients help to keep your mood and energy stable as the sugars from the dates are released slowly into your blood stream and the coconut oil helps you to burn fat naturally providing longterm fuel for your body. The cacao is full of antioxidants and minerals which boost your cell & brain function helping you to fire on all cylinders . Dates also contain the essential amino acid tryptophan. This is good for us humans as it makes us feel happy and relaxed. Yay!
