Makes 12 mini cups of awesomeness

🥜 Cups -

🌟1/2 C silky smooth peanut butter
🌟2 Tbsp melted coconut oil
🌟2 Tbsp sugar-free maple syrup
🌟A big pinch of salt

🍫Filling -

🌟1/2 C dark chocolate - I used 85% 🙌🏻
🌟1/4 C canned coconut milk
🌟1/2 tsp finely ground instant espresso (I use mocha @beforeyouspeakcoffee ) - technically opt but helps enhance the richness of the choc
🌟1 scp collagen - opt but adds a hit of protein & great for hair, skin, nails & gut health ❤️

✳️Mix filling in a saucepan over low heat until smooth & well combined
✳️Pour/spoon paper cupcake cases
✳️Use the back of a sml tsp to smooth up the edges
✳️Chill in the freezer for 5 to set
✳️Melt choc
✳️Add espresso pwd (if using) & coconut milk & stir until smooth
✳️Chill in the freezer for 5. This is important! If you dont let the choc chill it will melt your PB cups when you try to fill them.
✳️Once your choc has chilled & your PB cups have set fill each PB cup with 2 tsp choc filling & cover with extra PB mix
✳️Chill for 5
✳️Sprinkle w/ sea salt
✳️Devour😋

Here’s how you do it;

🌟1/2 C almond flour
🌟4 tbsp cashew butter
🌟1 tbsp maple syrup (I use sugar free)
🌟1 tsp vanilla
🌟2 Tbsp vanilla protein - I ❤️ @ macr0mike plant based sf vanilla buttercream (or white choc) almond protein 🔥🙌🏻 (vanilla collagen creamer works great too, haven’t tested any others , sry)
🌟a pinch of flakey sea salt
🌟a splash of water - as needed - go easy, start with 1/4 tsp at a time - just enough to bring it together to form a dough
🌟SPRINKLESSSSSSSSSS - measure with your ❤️

✳️Scoop & roll your into desired shape & size. Set aside
✳️Caaarrreeefulllllly pour your sprinkles in (or on)to a small bowl or rimmed plate (when I say carefully I mean carefully - those things will ricochet all over your kitchen floor & you will be stepping on them / cursing me for months . . . so pls be careful!!!)

✳️Enjoy xo

What would your dream birthday treat be? tell me, tell me, details pls . . .

{Sugar free-Dairy free} peppermint mocha✨ Aka w

{Sugar free-Dairy free} peppermint mocha✨

Aka what’s helping get me through the next 3 days!! 😬

The decadent richness of cacao + a gentle hum (or loud rev if you prefer) of espresso & a subtle hint of minty freshness 🤤

And yes, if you aren’t a fan of coffee (pls tell me how we’re friends again?! jk - you know ILY) you can just leave it out & have yourself a dreamy choc mint chiller instead. It will still be incredible just not quite as magical IMO.

No added sugar ✅
Packed with protein ✅
Rich in magnesium ✅
Loaded with gut-healing goodness ✅

Seriously, so good! Starbucks who?! 🙊

I can’t think of a better way to start, end or fill the day than binge watching Christmas movies with a cup of this deliciousness!

Simple (but life-changing) Oven Roasted Cabbage ✨

The sneaky side dish you never knew you always needed!

I know, I know it doesn’t sound like much, roasted cabbage *yawn* but, trust me . . . if you haven’t yet had yourself some oven-roasted cabbage then prepare to have your world rocked!

The edges get gorgeously golden, crisp, crunchy, slightly charred & gloriously caramelized but the middle is deliciously buttery, soft, silky, smoky, sweet & just all kinds of wonderful.

Honestly, I’m struggling to find words to describe how incredible it really is, I think it’s one of those things you have to experience yourself to really appreciate & embrace the magical life-changing deliciousness. I mean LBR . . . roast cabbage doesn’t sound very appealing but hear me when I say it is going to change your life!

It’s super cheap and easy to prepare & goes with just about everything. Although, to be honest, I could happily make (& eat) the entire tray, all on it’s own and be one very happy gal.

Drizzle it with ranch & have at it or if you’re doing the more traditional Christmas roast , smother it with gravy. However your choose to serve it you really can’t go wrong.

We absolutely adore it and I know you will too! ❤️

Do yourself a favour & go make it already!!

Here’s how you do it;

Serves 2-6

🌟1 head of green cabbage, cut into wedges
🌟1 Tbsp olive (or avocado or coconut oil)
🌟1/2 tsp garlic pwd
🌟1/4 tsp onion pwd
🌟A pinch of red pepper flakes
🌟Salt & pepper to taste
🌟1 lemon
❤️ To serve -
🌟Garlicky- Greek yoghurt dressing
🌟4 Tbsp plain yoghurt
🌟1 Tbsp @gevityrx great guts mayo
🌟1/2 tsp each garlic & onion pwd (more or less to taste)
🌟S&P to taste
🌟a splash of water to make drizzle-able
(or gravy - I ❤️ @mingleseasoning !)

✳️Pre-heat oven to 175’C/350’F
✳️Line a baking tray with non-stick/ parchment paper (or a silpat mat) & set aside.
✳️Drizzle/brush/toss cabbage wedges with olive oil & sprinkle with seasonings
✳️Roast for 20-25 mins - flipping half way - until golden, caramel-y & the edges are charred
✳️Remove from the oven, add a squeeze of lemon, drizzle with ranch (or gravy) if you want <-— you do! 😘
✳️Enjoy xo
