Tropical fruit salad

Hi lovelies! I'm just stopping by with a quick tip to what could either be an idea for breakfast or a healthy dessert, either way it will be the perfect taste of summer in this depressing wintertime (I'm not a fan of all this cold and darkness;)). I absolutely love this tropical fruit salad inspired by the amazing Loni Jane (IG: @lonijane) and I've already made it several times since it popped up on my instagram feed - I know it is so simple, but it taste absolutely amazing - enjoy!

Ingredients:
2 chopped bananas
1 chopped mango
2 passionfruits
A handfull raw shredded coconut

Raw cacao date balls

I absolutely love these raw cacao date balls - they're super easy to make, they're healthy and they taste amazing (like brownie batter, but without the guilty conscience). You can basically add whatever you like - I want to add almonds next time I make it and maybe some goji berries - so just experiment with the things you like and have available. The recipe for these are:

Ingredients:

1 cup pitted dates

1 tbsp. raw cacao powder

2 tbsp. shredded coconut

1 tbsp. chia seeds

1 tbsp. water

1 tbsp. coconut oil

 

Directions:

1. Put all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender (preferably with an S blade) and blend
2. Scoop out the mixture with a tablespoon and use your hands to roll them into balls
3. Roll them in shredded coconut
4. Put them in the fridge for a couple of hours to set before eating
5. Enjoy!

Apple crumble parfait

Ingredients – 2 servings:

Apple compote:

2 apples - diced

½ cup water

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tblsp chia seeds

1 tblsp honey/agave or other sweetener of choice

2 dates - chopped

Overnight oats:

½ cup oats

2 tblsp chia seeds

1 ½ cup milk

1 tsp pure vanilla powder

Cinnamon – optional

Sweetener of choice – optional.

Muesli:

You can either use a store bought variety or make your own – a simple version could be rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped walnuts and a little cinnamon, but just get creative and use whatever you have available. I will post my recipe for homemade muesli soon!

   

Directions:

1. Apple compote: add all the listed ingredients in a pot and bring the mixture to a low boil and stir every 5 minutes. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the apples are tender. Mash the apples a little and put it in the fridge to cool.
2. Overnight oats: mix all the ingredients and leave in the fridge for at least an hour or overnight to allow the mixture to thicken – if it’s too thick then simply add a little more milk.    
3. Now all you need to do is to layer the apple compote, the overnight oats and the muesli.
4. Enjoy!
