Carob when blended with medjool dates, almost tastes caramel-like and chocolatey at the same time. The hemp heart bring the protein to balance out the sweets craving and make these little cuties more wholesome and well-rounded.

Add in the cinnamon and cayenne for that spice kick 🌶️ The spice kicks in at the very end and adds a pretty deep and satisfying flavor. It's totally optional though -- if you're not a fan of spicy chocolate or just unsure about trying a spicy dessert, just omit the cayenne and they'll still taste incredible.

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup Organic hemp hearts

  • 1 cup pitted organic medjool dates

  • 2 tbsp Organic carob powder

  • 2 tbsp organic coconut oil

  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (alcohol free)

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ⅛ tsp cayenne

  • Coating Ingredients: approx. 3 more tablespoon hemp seeds for rolling or extra carob powder—

Instructions:

Place all ball ingredients in a food processor and process until an almost smooth uniform mixture forms {it will begin to ball up at that point}.

Scoop out small amounts and shape into balls {go for 8}. Spread the coating hemp seeds or carob for rolling on a place. Roll each ball to coat. Place in the fridge as these are awesome chilled for about 15 minutes. And they firmed up ever-so-slightly and set into their shape {once set, they do hold up well unrefrigerated too though}.

My contribution is a union of nutrition, mindfulness, meditation, breathwork & movement intertwined with behaviour change and how it impacts a life worth living.

As a health and fitness professional, I want to shift the paradigm toward one of self-love and self-care instead of an aesthetic insecurity-based industry. Let’s move away from the trail of being overweight, body shape dissatisfaction, the daily dose of pharmaceutical and social drugs, persistent envy, unhappiness, anxiety, depression, and a life full of pressure to keep up, skip steps, and rush.

Living without awareness and intention creates pressures that we are not doing, we are not moving fast enough, as bosses, workers, weekend warriors, friends, lovers, parents, siblings, or grandparents. We have to be able and willing to step outside the pull of unhealthy and unhealthful cultural norms and make the critical space to do our meaningful thinking.

The first thing I need people to take in is if they are going to work with me or read my work because for me this re-frames the core of moving through all obstacles we have around stress, rush, health, weight, etc … The very blantant truth is that living under the guise of society’s expectations - is not living.

We have been fed a narrative that stepping outside or away from norms is the wrong way to exist and this narrative furthers unhappiness, unhealthiness, pressure, and a life that is too fast to enjoy.

Wherever we are, this is life—it’s happening right now, and I’ve decided that I am not going to rush through it and I invite you to join me today …
