Imagine eating edible dirt, grass with other bits of other grains, plants, nuts and seeds. I probably haven’t sold you on the concept however some how these little treats of super whole food nourishment taste like delicious (I know hard to believe) chocolatey earth.

I have been loving my last batch with a cup of chi tea. They are full of rich nutrition and have been loved by both those with a sweet tooth and those who prefer their savory.

This recipe was created when I got a bit off track finalising a recipe testing for my upcoming book, ‘The Holistic Health Guide’. When you fail at something, embrace the process of learning and create something even better, aka a healthy recipe treat to share with everyone while your waiting on the book.

Would love to hear how you would describe the taste of these earthly bites!

Recipe:

1 1/2 cups almond meal

1 cup quinoa flakes or organic oats (preferably steel cut oats)

1/2 cup tahini

1/2 cup cocao

1 banana

1 large handful of baby spinach leaves

1/2 cup mesquite powder or maca powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup raw honey

If your using oats grind them in a blender or food processor.

Process or blend on high speed the banana and spinach together.

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and add a splash of water if needed to achieve a thick, moist mixture. Place the mixture in a lined baking tray in the freezer for at least 15 minutes. Take out and slice in desired bite size pieces.

Store in a stealer container in either the fridge or freezer. Storing it in the fridge will create a fudge type  texture while the freezer will produce chewy more solid bites.

Enjoy your bites of earthy goodness!
