Mulberry Crunch Bars

Some of my two favorite things... mulberries and chocolate. Well I've figured out a way to combine them both and I feel like it's genius! A mulberry chocolate bar! Simple yet so satisfyingly beautiful!
Yield: 6 bars
You will need:
-1 tablespoon maple syrup
-1-2 tablespoons date paste
-1/4 cup raw carob/cocoa powder
-1/4 cup melted coconut oil
-A dash of cinnamon
-A pinch of salt
-1/2 cup dried mulberries
-1/2 cup shredded coconut
Directions:
1. Using a food processor, blend all the ingredients together until combined and then pulse in the berries and shredded coconut at the end
3. Press the mix in a lined container and place in the fridge overnight to harden up before slicing
4. Store in an airtight container in the fridge/freezer until ready to enjoy!

Kelp Noodle Sushi Wrap

I love the crunchy and juicy texture of kelp noodles. Instead of eating them in a salad, I thought I would create a sushi wrap with them. I also made another wrap using swiss chard and it was just as perfect. I think I ate probably 7 of the sushi rolls! Yum! Yield: 1 serving You will need: -1 1/2-2 packages of kelp noodles -1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes -3 chopped up green onions -1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms -Any other vegetables your heart desires -7-10 nori sheets Dressing: -6 tablespoons of tahini -3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar -5 tablespoons of lemon juice -1/2 cup of parsley/cilantro -6-7 tablespoons of water Directions: 1. Soak the kelp noodles in warm water for 15 minutes and drain once ready (I cut the noodles into smaller noodles using scissors) 2. Mix all the ingredients together with as much of the dressing that you desire 3. Wrap the noodle mix, along with any other vegetables you would like into a sushi roll. Continue this process until you are

Mmmm... My house smells like heaven! Made some homemade Oaties, which were inspired by Jamba Juice. When I was down in Maui, I saw these little gems in Jamba Juice and was curious to see what we're the ingredients. I looked them up online and then was determined to make a healthier version as soon as I got back to Calgary. Such a delicious treat in the go and you can add whatever you like to them! Enjoy! Yield: 1 dozen cookies You will need: -2 mashed ripe bananas -1/2 cup apple sauce -A dash of cinnamon, nutmeg and ground ginger -2 teaspoons baking soda -1 cup oat flour -1 cup oats -3/4 cup dried apricots -3/4 cup dried mulberries -1/2 cup dried cranberries -1/4 cup dark chocolate shavings (or chips) Directions: 1.
