Introducing ‘Fit-food’ and buckwheat balls!
So many
new ‘introductions’ these last couple of days…plus another one planned for next
week! There has been a lot going
on that is beginning to take shape very nicely so I just want to bring you up
to speed with where I am and share my excitement with you too!
I have a
new recipe to share with you today that continues the buckwheat theme that
you’ve also seen here, here and here in very different ways. Yum- I
love buckwheat. But on the theme of introductions, I have added another new
category to the recipes tab so now you’ll be able to search through ‘Fit-Food’.
These recipes are all about high protein, or low carb, or grab and go
power-snacks… basically plenty of recipes to fit an active lifestyle. Feel free
to throw more ideas and comments my way as this is an area if nutrition I am
very passionate about.
Options: you could also add vanilla, spices, carob or cocoa, or nuts of seeds of choice to sub some of the buckwheat or coconut.

Off the
back of the launch of my new Wholeplus Fitness bar range, the recent weeks have had me thinking about and
exploring all sorts of ‘fitness’ related snacks and recipe ideas. For example
my green smoothie cheesecake was a
bit of a revelation in super-healthy-tastyness!
So
without waffling on any more, here is the ‘fit-food’ recipe for today. Super simple but certainly hits the spot. Enjoy!
Recipe: Buck-coconut
bites
Makes 12 balls
Ingredients
½ cup dates
¼ coconut
flakes
½ buckwheat
groats (you can toast them first if you like but I didn't)
2 tbs peanut
butter (or other nut butter) add a pinch of salt if not using salted nut
butter.
Method
Process the dates until sticky and coarsely ground. Add all remaining ingredients and pulse
to combine. Add more nut butter if too dry and more coconut if too sticky.
Options: you could also add vanilla, spices, carob or cocoa, or nuts of seeds of choice to sub some of the buckwheat or coconut.
