It's Tuesday and it's recipe time. I've chosen to give you two Paleo friendly recipes that are healthy and nutritious. I am a chocolate lover and when you are trying to eat healthy it sucks that you can't eat the things you love. So I went digging through all my recipes and came up with two of my favourites.
Chocolate Avocado Strawberry smoothie (serves 2)1 cup frozen strawberries
1 ripe avocado, roughly chopped
1tbsp. cocoa powder
1.5 cup almond or coconut milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 tbsp. raw honey(optional)
dark chocolate, grated
mix first 6 ingredients in a blender, pour into 2 cups and sprinkle grated dark chocolate on top. YUM!
Paleo Mint Brownies (makes 12 squares)
1 cup Almond butter
1/3 cup Honey
1 Egg
2 tbsp. Coconut oil (melted)
1 tsp peppermint extract
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder1/2 tsp Baking soda
Pinch of salt
Coconut oil spray
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F
Place the almond butter, honey, egg, coconut oil, and peppermint extract into a large bowl
Use a hand blender to combine until smooth
Mix in the cocoa powder, baking soda and salt
Prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan with coconut oil spray
Spoon the batter into the pan and bake for 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
(I don't always use the peppermint extract. Tastes yummy without it too.)
I hope you enjoy these recipes. Have a wonderful day and eat healthy.
