Do We Have a Deal For You!?

We all know there is no such thing as "a free lunch" - you generally get what you pay for in life.

So, we have been trying to decide on how to structure a good deal for potential new customers.

This is what we are thinking about, and have put it on our website:

What do you think?

Do you think you have a better idea?

We have a number of new gift pack ideas we are setting up too. Looking forward to chatting to you about those soon!

Enjoy Chocolate - dark chocolate (70%+ cacao) is good for you in moderation (around 5-7g before a meal is supposed to have a number of benefits including appetite control).

Cheers,

A Healthy Snack Treat - Raw Cacao & Dried Fruit - Free Recipe

I have a confession – not only am I a chocoholic, but I am also addicted to dried fruit.

There, I said it. Cat’s out of the proverbial bag.

On both counts, these days, I only eat organic chocolate and fruit – so the quality and nutrient levels are high.  I also find, as a result, I manage to consume smaller quantities and truly enjoy without guilt.

A few weeks ago I experimented with combining the two food groups as a way to substitute my addiction to a very yummy but expensive raw cacao fruit bar.

Today I experimented again and the result was truly awesome for my taste buds. So much so, I am going to share what I did with you now.

You will need a mortar and pestle or a mini blender or a live juice extractor that homogenises. I used a mortar and pestle. You may want to modify the ingredient ratios to suit your taste preferences.

Mim’s Raw Cacao & Fruit Mix

Ingredients:

5 Medgool Dates (organic)

3 soaked dried apricots (organic)

8 teaspoons raw, organic cacao power

Approximately 1 tablespoon virgin, organic coconut oil

Approximately 4 tablespoons fine dessicated organic coconut (you could substitute ground almond)

Method:

Pitt the dates and combine them with 5 tablespoons of cacao and half the oil in your mortar and pestle. Once well blended, add the apricots, the remainder of the cacao and the remainder of the oil. Blend well. Add the dessicated coconut and blend well.

Notes:

This is quite rich, so experiment if you prefer less cacao. Also, you may like to substitute carob for the cacao for children or those allergic to cacao. If you do, remember that carob is about 50% fructose, so it will result in a sweeter mix.

ENJOY!!
