Leave a comment

IMG_9854I have been experimenting a lot with Rolla Granola and using it, with all its healthy benefits, to create interesting tasty clean treats. The latest in the collection is a little naughty with white chocolate chips added but hey life’s all about a little balance.

Makes 8 slices

Ingredients:

Method:

  1. Firstly blend up your 70g of rolla granola, or crush the life out of it with a rolling pin.
  2. Prepare a tin by lining with foil, it will need to be refrigerated.
  3. Add the Ground almonds, crushed rolla granola and whey protein powder to a bowl and combine.
  4. Add the peanut butter and melted coconut oil and mix thoroughly, it should create a thick quite stiff mixture.
  5. Finally add the big chunks of granola, the white chocolate chips and the frozen raspberries.
  6. Transfer into the prepared dish and leave in the fridge to cool for minimum 2 hours before cutting into 8 slices…and then eating all 8!

Raspberry Macadamia Rocky Road

Leave a comment

IMG_9315Have you heard about macadamia nut oil?….No? Neither had I until the wonderful people at This is Good contacted me about trying it out. What a revelation. When compared to its popular rival coconut oil, this macadamia nut oil wins every contest. With a delicious buttery taste this versatile oil can be used in many recipes. Check out their website for a fabulous blog and so much information on the properties of the oil and its health benefits. For me whats important is the taste, and wow does it taste good in these rocky road clean treats I created.

Recipe makes 12 slices or one big slab if you want to be greedy!

  • 100g Peanut butter
  • 2 tsbsp Almond flour/ground almonds
  • 25g Chocolate whey protein powder
  • 20g Cocoa powder

  • 20g Chocolate covered protein crispies (you can always leave these out or replace with something else to give it a crunch.
  • 40g Macadamia nuts halved
  • 55g Frozen raspberries
  • 40g Dark chocolate

Method: 

  1. Prepare a small brownie tin by lining with foil.
  2. Mix your peanut butter, almond flour, protein powder and cocoa powder.
  3. Add in the macadamia nut oil and ensure its fully combined.
  4. Add your blended oats to the mixture.
  5. Melt your chocolate, and add it to the mixture ensuring its well mixed.
  6. Quickly add the protein crispies, halved macadamia nuts and the frozen raspberries, combine carefully trying to not break up your raspberries too much!
