The Sugar Free Fairy, Mars Venus Inspired Breakfast Bars, Plus John Gray at Breakfast!
Listen to John Gray talk about why it's never too early for chocolate!
OK, following on from last week's blog - read more about the Mars Venus inspired breakfast bars - even more exciting as they contain almost every ingredient that John Gray mentions in his Breakfast Television Vancouver interview! Watch the video by clicking here.
Nicola Pledger - Cardiff's Sugar Free Fairy Godmother
I’m lucky enough to have recently met the super clever sugar-free yummy food maker, Nicola Pledger - a rather fantastical co-incidence or wonderful shift of the Universe aligning things as needed; depending on which school of thought you follow! Whichever way you look at it, Nicola has been something of a godsend to me; especially these past couple of weeks.
Ideally I’d love to be making and experimenting with all these goodies myself; but as the Mars Venus & You baby grows then for now Nicola is a fantastic very next best thing. One of the reasons it works out so well is that she’s so open to experimenting and trying out new things; so when I jabber on to her about how excited I am to be reading all the wonderful superfoods in the new Venus on Fire, Mars on Ice book, she’ll go away and think up ways to incorporate them into a new sweet treat for me... one of the most successful so far of these being the breakfast bars!
The Mars Venus Inspired Breakfast Bars
You can see these beauties in the picture above; these are very much inspired by the Superfoods Daily Shake recommendation in the new Venus on Fire, Mars on Ice book – and are super yummy!
In them they’ve got; goji berries, cashew nuts, lucuma powder, mesquite powder, maca powder, pumpkin seeds, almonds, sesame seeds, cacao powder, agave syrup, hemp butter and coconut oil... They’ve got a crunchy base layer with a gooey, praline tasting centre and a super dark, super healthy chocolate-as-it's-meant-to-be layer on top - and are the *most indulgent* start to the day I’ve ever experienced!
Nicola & I are going to meet up and see if we can devise some Mars & Venus chocolates that you’ll be able to buy – either through Nicola & I directly or via mail order – and they’ll most definitely be the ultimate Mars Bar! I’ll keep you posted...
