mom’s day and lemon meltaways

bugsfroyo

Why can’t every day be mother’s day???  I didn’t have to change one diaper all day and was spoiled with treats.  One treat in particular was a trip to the local scoop…a self-serve frozen yogurt café.  They now serve Chloe’s frozen fruit which is dairy and gluten free, just three ingredients banana, water and a little bit of cane sugar.

It was SO good, if you haven’t been, GO!  I topped, mine with chocolate granola, strawberries, toasted coconut and dark chocolate chunks…heaven in a cup!

And in case that wasn’t enough dessert for one day I made Lemon Meltaways a raw dessert adapted from www.detoxinista.com  These little bites do just that, melt in your mouth!  Made from raw cashew butter, honey, lemons and coconut oil they are sure to please!

Lemon Meltaways

½ cup raw cashew butter

juice of one lemon

2 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

sea salt

2 teaspoons lemon zest

Stir all ingredients together until smooth and creamy.  (I placed the coconut oil and cashew butter over a very low heat for a few minutes to assist in the melting process.)

Place mini baking cups in a baking dish, double layer the cups for added support.  Pour mixture into baking cups then place in the freezer.  When frozen, dig in and enjoy!
