RAW CACAO REISHI BROWNIES


A medicinal treat crafted by Sofiia Manousha! 

These brownies have a special ingredient: Reishi mushroom. Reishi mushroom is known to us as the Queen Healer and has been used for centuries for its immune-modulating benefits. We invite you to try this wonderful recipe packed with nourishing ingredients to support you from the inside out.

While quarantining in Paris, I tried to use this time alone to become more connected with my inner self. Feeding my soul properly is a huge part of my daily life: good sleep, hydration, mediation, books and of course food. As a chocolate lover, I refused any kind of label for my diet. I eat intuitively based. This recipe is rich in nutrients like Omega-3s with almond butter and almond flour, and is also rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, magnesium (in the raw cacao) and is an immunity booster with Reishi mushroom.

Raw Cacao Reishi Brownie

 Ingredients

1 cup of almond flour*

1 cup of medjool dates

½ cup of raw cacao powder

1 tsp. Reishi powder

¼ pink Himalayan Salt

½ cup almond butter

1 tbsp. melted coconut oil

* You can use any nut flour you like; my favorites are: almond flour, hazelnut flour, pecan flour and walnut flour.


 Method

Add the dates and process until sticky mixture forms. The brownie mixture should easily stick together when you press it with your fingers. If it's not sticky enough and the mixture doesn't hold together, add more dates. 

In a large bowl add and mix the dry ingredients: almond flour, cacao, Reishi and salt.

Press the mixture into an 8" x 8" (20 cm x 20 cm) dish lined with parchment paper. If the brownie mixture sticks to your hands, wet your hands. Once evenly pressed, place the brownies in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes.


The Yummy Note... 

In a small bowl mix some melted coconut oil, a teaspoon of raw cacao powder, a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of coconut syrup. Mix and add on top of the brownies for an extra layer of goodness...

Since I was a child, I always got the feeling that food played a major part in our skin, health, and level of energy. My BeautyFuel food was born from my love for the plant based diet, superfoods, and the desire to democratize it. I wanted it to be delicate, sexy, easy and generous! Healthy diets do not imply starvation and dieting by only eating seeds and drinking green juices. It is a way to be fully aware of what you are giving to your body: vibrant and unprocessed food. I aspire to, as I said before, give a new vision of the plant-based diet. I want it to be simple, easy and accessible. I am really not into edits or food restrictions, it’s actually quite the opposite. I believe in intuitive, generous, tasty, and vibrant food. Beauty is a combination of different factors: skincare, lifestyle and food.
