WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER WHEN YOU ARE IN A BAD MOOD?

Exercise! A brisk walk or light jog is scientifically proven to increase dopamine (feel good chemicals) within.

Sugar-Free Banoffee Pie

The other day I was craving a banoffee pie. I guess I saw one in a shop and it had been playing on my mind a little. My dilema lied with that I am trying to lead a healthy, nutritious and delicious lifestyle! It got me to thinking…”Can I enjoy this dreamy creamy delicious dessert sugar-free, gluten-free and most importantly, guilt-free?” As it turns out, yes, yes I can. The base is made of organic Cashews, walnuts and dates blended together in a food processor or blender. This is layered over tin foil and squashed into position ready for the ‘toffee’ sauce. I used unsweetened almond milk, organic dates and a pinch of vanilla for taste, blended up until thick and creamy. Pour this over the base and place in the freezer for up to 6 hours. For the cream I used Blue-Dragon coconut cream cartons x 2 whipped up and then folded in 3 bananas. Pour this over the pre-frozen base and sprinkle with Organic Cacao powder for a beautifully decorative finish. Alternatively you can grate dark chocolate over the top but it must be over 75% cacao or cocoa with sugar being the 3rd or latter listed ingredient to keep this little gem Guilt-free. Exact portions are: Base -100g Cashews -100g Walnuts or Almonds -75g of Pitted Dates

'Toffee Sauce' -250ml Unsweetened Almond Milk -250g Pitted Dates -1tsp Ground Vanilla

Cream -2 Cartons Blue Dragon Coconut cream -3-4 Bananas

Enjoy!
