🍪Cookies and Cream🍪 (Vegan/Gluten Free/Low Carb)
When I dropped the cookie balls into the coconut cream...
The world paused for a moment in wonder of the deliciousness being born!
I have been making homemade, fresh, creamy coconut mylk-ish cream almost every day since I took a severe sugar cut in my diet (as I cleanse my precious temple!) 🌟
As you may have read in my previous posts, I traded natural sugars for healthy fats and am having a LOT of fun with it! Coconuts are becoming a huge part of my delicious life nowadays!
Quick note: I'm refined sugar free anyway, so this also extends to naturally occuring sugars that are in just about everything! You really come to notice just how sugary our "regular" foods are when you start paying attention (or in my case, even closer attention!)
As any of you who have ever followed my posts would know-- I make desserts like it's my job! (OK, it kind of is if you count these posts!) 😉
That said, I feel so lost without my dates and maple syrup! (But I feel really great so I can't whine too much over this whole thing!)
I started experimenting and came into these little babies! I fell in love when I dropped them into a pool of coconut mylk and tossed in a few blueberries to create a pop of color!
So, ta-da! We now have:

Optional:
- 1 handful of blueberries
- 1 tsp hemp hearts
- 1 cup coconut mylk

- Mix the almonds, pecans, soaked chia seeds, coconut flour, cacap butter, coconut mylk, vanilla, mesquite, salt, maca powder, and cinnamon in a food processor and blend until everything is combined then stir in the cacao nibs
- Take a spoonful of the dough at a time and create small balls in your hands

- Bake for about 15-20 minutes
- Serve in coconut mylk/cream for extra deliciousness!

most of us really like sweet food even though each food ingredient itself already has natural sugar, like eating without sugar that you make.
I like the food you make.
Well actually, a lot of us like sweet because it's been pumped into all of our foods in huge quantities... it's not very natural and can cause a lot of imbalance and even candida overgrowth so I like to try to still give a sweet taste without all of the negatives! :)
Great way to start your day with this delicious looking breakfast treat - so yummy
I guess you could eat this for breakfast :)! I wouldn't as they are a very filling treat but I like to eat really light during the day :)
