Carob & Fennel Sweetmeats
Carob & Fennel Sweetmeats – Sugar Free Energy Snack
These sugar free little sweetmeats are a delicious alternative to chocolate or sweet snack. They are nutrient and energy rich, and while they are sugar free, the fennel adds an unusual sweet sensation counterbalanced by the chili (if you choose to use it) as well as aiding digestion. Take the chili out if you don’t want the subtle heat.
- ¼ cup linseed (flaxseed)
- ½ cup sunflower seeds
- ½ cup pumpkin seeds
- ½ cup finely ground desiccated coconut
- 1-2 tsp fennel seeds
- 2-4 fresh medjool dates (stones removed)
- Zest of one orange – peel thinly if adding to Omniblend (otherwise finely grated.)
- 1 tblsp soaked goji berries (optional)
- 2 tblsp carob powder (plus extra for rolling the sweetmeats)
- ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tblsp organic coconut oil
- A little water to mix if necessary
- Place all the ingredients in the Omniblend except the coconut oil and water.
- PULSE until blended until fine in texture, then add the coconut oil and blend again for about 35 seconds. If the mix doesn’t form a ball, add a tablespoon of water and blend again until it clumps together as dough would.
- Spoon out a teaspoonful at a time and roll between your palms to form an even ball, then roll in carob powder, desiccated coconut, poppy or sesame seeds, and store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Do you ever wonder why you feel less than ideal around your period? Or why your mood fluctuates with your menstrual cycle? It may help to know that hormone imbalances may be driving your symptoms!Hormones are one of your body’s chemical messengers. They are made in special glands (called endocrine glands) and travel through the bloodstream delivering instructions to the various tissues and organs. In addition to roles in sex drive and reproduction, hormones affect virtually every body function from digestion and metabolism to hair growth and happiness.
