Feeling Peckish?

Lately I have been on a "diet", I hate to call them diets, because basically it´s called: a new way of life, but diet sums it up quite nicely... Carryon...well I  have been on a diet, where I want to lose 10 pounds in two months. Sounds easy, right? But I am THE WORST, when it comes to dieting. On a day to day basis I live healthy, but I just can´t seem to get rid of the last pounds, mainly because I ALWAYS feel peckish, when I have been dieting for a couple of days. I´m now on day three and the cravings or hitting me HARD! So I decided to search the internet for some nice healthy snacks, or should I say healthier snacks.
And here´s what I found...and notice that they all contain chocolate, because I LOVE CHOCOLATE!

Chocolate Chia Pudding

ingredients (3 portions)

4 tbsp Chia seeds
peel and juice from 1 orange
1 tsp of vanilla powder
9 tsp of raw cocoa powder (Raw is milder, so if you are using regular I would taste it as you pour it in)
6 tsp agavesirup
3 dl extra creamy coconutmilk  

Crush the chia seeds and pour all the other ingredients together. Mix everything well and put in the fridge for a couple of hours or over night. I personally think it taste better if you make it in the morning and eat it at night. :D Cut some pieces of fruit and sprinkle on top. I personally like strawberry, mango & banana.

"Healthy" Nutella

ingredients (1 portion)

250g of sun dried dates
100g of hazelnuts
3 big tbsp of raw cocoa powder
3 tbsp of coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla powder

Pour hot water on top of the dates and let them hydrate for about 1/2 hour. While they suck in the hot water, toast the hazelnuts and when done, let them cool. Cut the dates in small pieces and put them in a bowl with the cocoa powder, vanilla and coconut oil, and blend the mixture until smooth. Try to massage the shell of the hazelnuts and blend them until it looks like flour. Mix the hazelnut flour with the cocoa mixture and if it is a little too dry, pour a little water in.

Comfy Chocolate pieces

ingredients (1 tray portion)

100g of cocoa butter
1 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp of lacuma powder (not necessary)
1 1/2 dl raw cocoa powder
3-4 tbsp of agavesirup
1 big tbsp of hazelnut butter
a little vanilla powder

Melt the cocoa butter together with the coconut oil on low heat. Stir in the lacuma powder and the agave sirup. Then ad the raw cocoa, vanilla and hazelnut butter and stir a little more. Then pour it in a tray and place in the freezer for a couple of hours. When you take the tray out, cut the chocolate mixture into bite size pieces. Keep the pieces in the freezer, otherwise they will melt and you can easily eat them directly from the freezer.
