Raw Peppermint Slice (Recipe)
THE FOOD MATTERS TEAM
If you're a fan of choc peppermint biscuits or peppermint slice, prepared to be amazed! We've got a much healthier version for you, minus the refined-sugars and condensed milk out of a can! 

BASE 

  • 1 cup almonds 
  • 1 1/2 cup dates 
  • 1/4 cup raw cacao 
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil

    PEPPERMINT FILLING 

    • 1/4 cup coconut cream 
    • 1/4 cup shredded coconut 
    • 2 cups raw cashews (soaked overnight)  
    • 1/4 pure maple syrup 
    • 1/2 cup coconut oil 
    • 4-5 drops peppermint oil (depending on how strong you like it) 

    CHOCOLATE TOPPING 

    • 1/4 cup raw cacao 
    • 1/4 cup coconut oil 
    • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup 

    WHAT TO DO 

    1. Using your food processor or high powered blender, combine the ingredients for the base and pulse until a crumble mixture is formed. Press mixture firmly into a lined small slice tray. 
    2. Place mixture into the freezer for 1 hour to set while you create the filling. 
    3. While your base is in the freezer setting, combine all filling ingredients in the food processor or high-powered blender and process until well combined and smooth. Add a little more water if needed to create a smooth mixture. 
    4. Remove base from freezer and top evenly with the peppermint filling. Smooth this layer and place back in the freezer for 1-2 hours. 
    5. Once your filling is set, prepare your chocolate topping by melting cacao, coconut oil & maple syrup over a low temperature until well combined. 
    6. Remove your slice from the freezer and layer evenly with the chocolate topping. Put back into the freezer for 1/2 an hour for the topping to set. 
    7. Remove from the freezer 10-15 minutes before serving. Best to slice while frozen.

Hi BodyRockers, . Face it you are weird. In today’s world if you train like a warrior, flex your discipline when it comes to your diet, and pass on grazing on donuts in the break room at work chances are you are chided on some level by those around as being weird. Get used to it. Embrace the smell of your sweaty socks. Not many people make a daily practice out of pushing themselves beyond their comfort zones for one workout a day. Not many people step out of what is comfortable for themselves period. This is a niche movement. Not everyone will get why you train this way or why you train at all. Thankfully we don’t need anyones permission or approval, and if we are looking for support we have a place to go where people get it. Being weird requires a good measure of independ

    How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

    Image
    Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing. Exposure to air pollution can cause both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) health effects.
