This treat is a multi-purpose bite. It works when you have a sweet tooth. It can be a pre-workout fuel if you need to eat something before you workout. It is also post workout recovery!
I came up with this because I like to follow a Paleo diet most of the time because the guidelines are the closest to a REAL FOOD philosophy as well as anti-inflammatory and nutrient dense.
However, it’s hard to find a paleo bar. There are some tasty ones. There are also bars that use the label “PALEO” but use ingredients that aren’t paleo.
To create my own paleo “bar”, I put paleo ingredients in a bowl, mash them up and call it a day!
That method works with these ingredients. You can also take the extra step of packing the mixture in a four tablespoon ice cream/muffin scoop. I realize as I write this that that is pretty darn specific! You could make two with a 2 tablespoon scoop also.
Ingredients:
bomb:
2 scoops collagen powder
1 T. grass fed ghee
1 T. cacao powder
1 T. raw, local honey
Bomb sauce:
1 T. cacao powder
1 T. mct oil or melted coconut oil
Directions:
In a small bowl combine all of the bomb ingredients. Use the back of a spoon to smash the ingredients and another spoon to scrape ingredients off of the (original) spoon periodically. It does come together within a minute, promise!
Pack the mixture in an ice cream scoop or leave it in the bowl.
Mix the bomb sauce ingredients in another bowl then drizzle over the bomb (or bowl)!
