Healthy Doughnut Holes

Grain free, paleo, and vegan friendly

I struggled to come up with a name for these bites of magic. They taste like a healthy sugar cookie dough and/or healthy doughnut holes.  They are filled with good fats and natural sugars, and fit within a grain free, vegan, and/or paleo lifestyle. They also make a good pre and post workout snack. 




Ingredients:

1 Cup coconut shreds
1/2 Cup melted coconut butter 
1/4 Cup melted coconut oil
2 Tbsp cashew butter
1 Cup walnuts 
1/2 Cup almond flour
6 pitted medjool dates 
1 tsp cinnamon 
1 tsp cardamom 
1 tsp maca 

Add all ingredients to a food processor (I use a Cuisinart bought at Goodwill. It works like a charm). Blend for a few minutes until all ingredients are fully mixed. It will eventually turn into a large ball like structure. Once it’s finished, scoop out a tablespoon size amount and roll into a ball and place on a baking sheet, then place the balls in the freezer 
for 20 minutes. Once they are pretty solid, place in an airtight container in the fridge. They will keep in the fridge for a couple weeks. 

Options (before freezer):

Add in cacao nibs and pulse for 3 seconds. 
Roll the balls in cinnamon and/or coconut sugar.

Unicorn Moonshine aka Keto//OS

Let's talk about this new therapeutic supplement that's about to make waves in the health industry...KETO//OS, but my girl gang of bio hackers & I like to call it "Unicorn Moonshine". I was attracted to this supplement after dealing with depression and fatigue for two weeks.  I was so fatigued, that I kept sleeping in and struggling to get myself out of bed, and when I finally got out of bed, I had brain fog.   My morning routine includes working out because it helps quite a bit with my depression and I was a former Beachbody coach, but I got too tired to workout & the pre-workout I was drinking gave me anxiety. The kind of anxiety where my chest tightens up, so I needed something to bring me back to my magical self, and unfortunately, medication isn't an option for me.   One random day, a facebook friend was doing a live about therapeutic ketones and giving a review of her experience with them, so I reached out and ordered a caffeinated
