Nutty Cacao Treats by Canberra Naturopath | Missing link health

Nutty Cacao Treats

Are you looking for an after dinner treat to cleanse your palate without feeling guilty? These nutty cacao treats are very easy to make and come with a range of nutritional health benefits. Using raw cacao, this treat has a slightly bitter flavour rather than the very sweet flavour of most of our commercially produced chocolates. Find out for yourself how the sweetness of blueberries complements the nuts and cacao of this treat beautifully. Only problem is they never last very long in our house!

Ingredients:

3 tbsp coconut oil
3 tbsp raw cacao powder
1 cup almonds, lightly roasted
1/2 cup coconut desiccated or fine
125 g fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions:

Combine coconut oil and cacao in saucepan and stir briefly over low heat until smooth.
Remove from stove, add almonds, coconut and blueberries and mix gently.
Spoon lumps of the mixture into non-stick mini-muffin tray.
Place in freezer for a couple of hours. Enjoy!
Store in airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 – 3 days or keep frozen for longer.

Anita’s input was extremely useful. Her state-of the-art machine detected some intolerance to certain food groups from a mere hair sample. Anita’s findings quickly resolved my on-an-off bloating sensation and lethargic state. Not bad for a Canberra-based Swissie.  — Cécile in Sydney

Great to catch up again yesterday, E. and I are really enjoying our new "Wellness Journey" together, so thank you so much for all of your help and guidance so far. Pleased to say Coffee has not passed my lips since our first meeting, and also my weight has reduced considerably, which is all good news. — I.K. from Canberra

"I was getting bad headaches about every month for decades The headaches were severe enough to require a lot of Panadol, which I didn’t like taking. After Anita carried out a thorough assessment of my health, she advised a simple change in eating patterns and a herbal supplement. I have not had a headache for five months now and my overall health and energy levels have never been better." — John

I would just like to share my experiences with Missing Link. I found the service impeccable. Not only was Anita warm and friendly but her professional knowledge is amazing. Through a few relevant questions and the biofeedback machine, useful details about my health were discovered that otherwise may have gone untreated or unnoticed for years and years. Anita is thorough and the results were fast, accurate and explained in a way that was meaningful and personal. - Michael

I loved your approach: warm and professional, friendly and calm. I came away with lots of hope and feel better just for that. I really liked the simplicity of your approach and appreciated that you didn't overload me with supplements or things to do. Seemed a lovely balance of dealing with the most important in a simple, practical way. And I liked that you were very attuned to what would actually work for me. — Chantal
