Chocolate chia pudding

This is delicious, I adapted it off another recipe I saw but as always made it my own. If you want it to set properly you can leave it overnight. If you just want to enjoy the goodness that same night, leave it in the fridge for 15 mins and then devour it (in a healthy way of course!).

Ingredients:

1 cup Oat milk or Lactose-free milk or Almond milk (for this one I use Oat milk)
1 Tbsp Stevia (I used PureVia)
2 Tbsp cocoa
2 Tbsp chia seeds
1 x vanilla pod

Directions:

1. Place cocoa in a bowl and pour in the cup of milk
2. Whisk until all mixed together
3. Scrape seeds from vanilla pod and place into bowl
4. Add chia seeds and Stevia and whisk mixture again
5. Pour mix into glass cups and place in fridge for a minimum of 15 mins or overnight for firmness
6. Serve

Lamb ribs with beansprout avocado salad

While I have bouts of vegetarianism, it is difficult for me to give up meat. But if you are vegetarian, you can simply have the salad in this dish as it is wholesome and filling.

So this recipe makes one serving. Obviously double if it's for two people.

Ingredients:

3 x lamb ribs (they come in a pack of 6 usually)
100g organic beansprouts
1/2 red pepper (also known as capsicum for the Australians out there)
1 lebanese cucumber
1/2 avocado
1 x handful of chopped fresh coriander
1 x lime
2 Tsp Himalayan Pink Sea Salt
1 Tsp paprika
1 Tsp all spice
2 Tbsp olive oil

Directions:

Lamb ribs

1. Pre-heat the oven at 180 degrees celcius
2. On a tray place the lamb ribs, coat with 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 Tsp of salt, 1 Tsp all spice, the juice of half a lime and mix around using clean hands (optional: 1/2 tsp chilli flakes) 
3. Place lamb ribs in the oven and cook for 15-20 mins or until browned

Salad

1. Place washed beansprouts in a bowl with the chopped fresh coriander
2. Cut avocado into little squares and place in bowl
3. Do the same for the cucumber and red pepper, squares should be around 1cm thick all around but don't be too worried about precision
4. Add the juice of half a lime, a Tsp of salt and 1 Tbsp of olive oil
5. Mix together and place on flat plate
6. Take out lamb ribs and serve on top of the salad. Enjoy!

Raw organic cocoa balls

You can make these little morsels of joy with cacao but I only had cocoa on hand. You need only a few ingredients for this. It's a delicious treat you can make as a gift for friends or just to munch on by yourself.

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp organic coconut oil (softened)
2 Tbsp greens and black organic cocoa
150g ground almonds
2 Tbsp xylitol
3 Tbsp desiccated coconut

Directions:

1. Put the cocoa, ground almonds and xylitol in a bowl and mix together

2. Add coconut oil and mix thoroughly until the ingredients clump together. If necessary, add a touch more coconut oil

3. Take one heaped teaspoon of the mixture and put it in your palm and roll the mix into a ball

4. Roll the ball in desiccated coconut and repeat for the rest of the mix

5. Place all the balls in the fridge for an hour or two

6. Serve
