These white choc beauty balls are great as sweet treat or a snack on the go and they are loaded with lots of good nourishing fats to keep your hunger at bay, collagen for your hair, skin, nails and connective tissue and chaga medicinal mushrooms to assist our body in dealing with stress, gut health and longevity.
Now these beauties will NOT spike your blood sugar levels at all so ideal for those following a low carb or keto lifestyle or if your diabetic or simply trying to reduce your sugar intake.
I have used a monkfruit concentrate as the sweetener, which is derived from a small melon from Southern China that has been used for around 800 years by Buddhist Monks.
Monkfruit is natural,has zero carbs and gylaemic index, doesn’t spike your blood sugar, virtual no calories, doesn’t feed candida and a few of these sweet little drops go a long way.
Now lets get started.
Ingredients:
1.5 cups roasted cashews
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
1 tsp cacao powder
1/2 tsp vanilla powder
1/4 cup white choc collagen - I use Locako ‘aurora10’ for a discount
1 tsp chaga medicinal mushrooms - I use SuperFeast ‘aurora10’ for a discount
3 tbs melted cacao butter
large pinch of salt
25 drops of monkfuit concentrate or sweetener of choice
Method:
Place cashews, coconut, white choc collagen, vanilla powder, salt and chaga into the thermomix and blitz on high for about 8 seconds - blitz for longer if you want less chunks of nuts.
Add the wet ingredients - cacao butter and monkfruit concentrate into thermomix and blitz until well combined.
Transfer into bowl, get your plastic gloves on (necessary or mixture sticks to your hands) and start rollin’.
Place into fridge for at least two hours to cool and set or I pop mine straight into the freezer & just pull them out as I eat them..
