Cacao Marshmallows  I usually have a sweet tooth but these were too sweet for me.  If I make another batch I would cut down on the rice malt syrup and maple syrup for sure. I adapted the recipe from The Movement Menu  here I swapped the honey for rice malt syrup but only used 2/3 of a cup and I added 2 drops of Wild Orange oil from Doterra.

Homemade Muesli Quality muesli filled with nutritious ingredients can get very expensive but once you have the ingredients in your pantry, it becomes less expensive and you can customise it just how you like it. For the base I use this recipe  to amp up my oats. I sub the peanut butter for almond butter and I add 1/2 of LSA with flaxseed and 2 Tbs of coconut oil to my mix. Then you just add what you like.  I add cranberries, pepitas, sunflower seeds, almonds chopped and flaked and rice puffs. Guaranteed to taste delicious and keep you feeling full for longer.  My favourite breakfast/ snack is this with organic natural yoghurt.
