Healthy Chocolate Panforte Recipe

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on December 23, 2016 / Food, Health & Fitness, Healthy Eating, Nutrition, Raw Chocolate Making

Healthy Chocolate Panforte Recipe Perfect for Christmas! Panforte is traditionally an Italian cake containing fruit and nuts. So more or less, it’s kind of like a fruitcake – dense, moist, fruity. It originated in the Tuscan city of Siena somewhere around the thirteenth century. Here I’ve made a healthy version that doesn’t miss out on any of the traditional flavours, certainly has the dense quality but with a lighter feel in the tummy. My healthy christmas panforte recipe is also gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free. It’s the perfect healthy recipe for christmas! There’s minimal liquid sweetener

Almond Toffee Chocolate Bark Recipe

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on May 20, 2016 / Food, Healthy Eating, Holistic Health, Nutrition, Raw Chocolate Making

Almond Toffee Chocolate Bark Recipe This clean eating recipe needs little introduction. I love almonds, I love raw honey and I love dark chocolate. Why not put them all together?! So what it’s made with natural raw honey, and I boil it first. It’s still a natural food that is made with love. It’s a super easy recipe that’s simple, yet certainly not plain! The children loved it so I started teaching them how to make this simple toffee and how it reminded me of toffee apples – of which the children have never tried. So you never know, we may make them

Spelt Coffee & Pecan Cake Recipe

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on November 16, 2015 / Food, Health & Fitness, Healthy Eating, Holistic Health, Nutrition

Coffee & Pecan Cake Recipe Spelt is an ancient grain widely recognized for its many health benefits. Triticum spelta, the scientific name for spelt, is a hardier and more nutritious cousin to modern wheat (Triticum aestivum). Some taxonomists classify spelt as a parent of wheat. Spelt is classed in the wheat family, even though there are significant differences between common wheat and spelt, including that the molecular structure of the protein in spelt is more brittle and soluble, allowing it to be assimilated more easily. It’s high in fibre and tastes great! Who said eating clean and healthy for the whole family,

Dark Citrus and Roast Almond Chocolate!

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on November 9, 2015 / Food, Health & Fitness, Healthy Eating, Holistic Health, Nutrition

Dark Citrus and Roast Almond Chocolate Oh I do love creating new textures, aromas and flavours in my raw chocolate! This one rivals one of my favourite combo’s from a Lindt bar – orange and almond. I really love peppermint and orange with dark chocolate. There’s just something delicious about the blending of these two sweet and fruity flavours with the intense richness and bitterness of the cacao bean. Adding a bit of crunch with roasted almonds simply completes the deliciousness! Mine beats Lindt hands down!! 🙂 #‎rawchocolatelove Enjoy!

6 Natural Sweeteners to Replace for Sugar

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on October 13, 2015 / Holistic Health

6 Natural Sweeteners For the last three and half years I’ve been teaching Raw and Healthy Chocolate and Desserts Workshops. They evolved out of my own desire to eat without guilt, upsetting my digestive process, or overdosing my hormones on sugar. They’ve been tremendously popular over the years and I’ve had a fantastic time teaching people how to make and eat more real food. I believe that everyone deserves to enjoy their food in the healthiest way for their own unique bodies. Whether you avoid gluten, wheat, dairy and sugar out of necessity or choice, these workshops were designed so

Rustic Rosemary + Hazelnut Torte [Gluten, Grain & Sugar Free]

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on October 8, 2015 / Food, Health & Fitness, Healthy Eating, Holistic Health, Nutrition, Raw Chocolate Making

Rustic Rosemary + Hazelnut Torte [Gluten, Grain & Sugar Free] Real Food Friday! I really like how food can look imperfect yet still absolutely divine, appetising and stimulating to our senses. I’d had it in my mind to make some sort of tart – or torte – that wasn’t visually perfect, but more rustic and outdoorsy with a farm or orchard feel. It may seem odd to pair rosemary with chocolate, but if you’ve already tried this combo recipe from my Healthy Chocolate Delights eBook you’ll know how curious and moreish it is! The style of this nutty crust combined with rosemary, adds to the laid

Raw Vanilla & Blueberry Cheesecake

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on June 19, 2015 / Food, Health & Fitness, Healthy Eating, Holistic Health, Nutrition

Raw Vanilla & Blueberry Cheesecake (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free) Cheesecake growing up in the 70’s and 80’s was quite a regular indulgence in our house because my parents often hosted celebratory parties. The cheesecakes were ALWAYS homemade back then, but even still, as a teenager I just didn’t know that gobbling them up was a cause of my stomach upsets. Now that I do, I’ve been making and teaching a VERY healthy and satisfying way to enjoy the mouthfeel, texture and flavours of cheesecake but without the components that make my digestive tract upset and unhappy. This particular recipe is

They’re fun to make and easy to mix together. A great little recipe to get the kids in the kitchen they are perfect for a morning or afternoon snack – maybe even as a breakfast bar (although I don’t recommend when there are so many other wonderful and more rounded meals for breakfast).
