At times, you’re craving something sweet even if you’re undergoing a detox, you’re fasting, or your diet is vegan. I’ve discovered something tasty, easy to make, and filling!

What did I use?

225g pitted dates

75g Romanian almonds

½ tbsp of cinnamon powder

3 tbsp of cocoa powder

100g coconut flakes

Soak the dates and almonds overnight.

Rinse them and transfer them to a blender with the cinnamon and cocoa powder, pulsing for 1-2 minutes until you get a paste.

Shape 32 bonbons (it helps if your hands are wet). Roll them through the coconut flakes (chop them in the blender if they’re too large).

…a dessert with a long tradition in our home, perfect for breakfast, especially during hectic weeks. You can make it easily using—

2 bananas

15g coconut flakes

2 tbsp coconut milk

6 (big) strawberries

(makes 2)

Blend the bananas, coconut, and coconut milk. Serve this paste in two bowls, with strawberries on top.
