Goji Balls

These were a little bit of accidental perfection. I wanted something stable at room temperature to share with my work colleague's and of course I can't forget my husbands beautiful work mates as well. I thought they were satisfactory but turns out I had a lot of people that were quite excited about them and I had plenty of requests for the recipe. The challenge was remembering what I threw in! Here is a rough guestimate of the successful Goji Balls.

Ingredients (makes 50-60 small balls)
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1 cup of dates 
  • 1 cup cashews
  • 1 cup coconut flakes
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/3 cup cocoa/cacao
  • 3 TBS honey or pure maple syrup
  • 3 TBS coconut oil
  • 1 cup goji berries

Instructions

Depending on the power of your blender or food processor you may need to blend the ingredients individually and then combined at the end. Leave the goji berries whole and stir in at the end.
  • Blend almonds in a high powered blender, food processor or thermomix
  • Add the cashews and dates and blend until combined
  • Add the sunflower and pumpkin seeds and blend until combined
  • Add the remaining ingredients except the goji berries and blend until combined
  • Stir in the goji berries
  • Form balls with the batter.
  • Goji balls will store in the fridge for a week and in the freezer for a couple of months - if they last that long ;)
When will you eat you goji balls?

Blueberry Lime Iceblocks

To be honest this is probably not one for your toddler. I learnt this the hard way. A lovely fresh treat on a hot day but as you can imagine the drips stain so be careful who you trust with this little beauty :)

Chocolate Mousse Slice

I have been trying make a slice that is more stable in the fridge and will not melt so quickly at room temp. This little beauty was a hit very first go. The topping is the perfect mousse consistency and the flavour just melts in your mouth. I hope you enjoy, there will most certainly be more made in our house!

Heal Your Gut Heal Your Life


I would be arrogant and ignorant to think I had all the answers when it comes to health. To be honest what I think is best for our health as human beings in any moment is constantly changing due to the wealth of information available to us and our vast difference in needs. The challenge is deciding what is right for your health when sifting through the ever changing and conflicting data that is available. Not only through our trusted health professional, but also the highly accessible and dense sea of the world wide web.

I talk briefly about deciding how to take on all the new ideas you are bombarded with every day here, but today I would like to offer you my opinion on what I believe is right for my health today (it may change tomorrow ;p).

Homemade Almond Milk

 Now I have to admit, I haven't had a glass of milk, regardless of its source for a long time now so this healthy alternative may or may not be for you if you take your milk in a long tall glass. I do however use milk in baking, in my coffee and as an alternative source of milk for my toddler. I either don't notice the difference or I prefer the flavour. So if you suffer from acne, eczema, asthma, sinus trouble, an autoimmune disease or are just looking to improve your all-round health I would strongly suggest a 3 week dairy free trial to see the benefits in your life and what better transition than to have some creamy almond milk in your fridge.
