  1. Drain Dates and blend all ingredients together until smooth. Add back a little of the water, bit by bit, to help blend if too thick.
Recipe Notes

*Store sealed in a glass jar in the fridge. Eat within 1-2 days

*Serving Suggestions:
You can use this cream/sauce to top or add to a great many things, let you imagination run wild.

-Enjoy as a topping on any other Desserts / Sweet Treats.

-Enjoy as a topping on fresh cut strawberries or other fruit of your choice.

-Mix through or serve as an accompaniment to the Vanilla Chia Pudding.

*Choose the cleanest ingredients possible:

-Choose spray-free/organic fresh produce for fresh ingredients where possible, and if buying conventional, rinse in diluted white vinegar water to remove 

 -Choose dry ingredients (i.e. nuts, seeds, dried fruits ) that are spray-fee/organic where possible, and which don’t have preservatives such as sulphur dioxide.

- Choose virgin, cold-pressed Coconut Oil in glass where possible. It should be pure white in colour. Do not choose cheaper, deodorised/neutral flavoured coconut oils that are off-white.

 -Choose Coconut Cream and Coconut Milk that is clean/free from additives, preservatives and E numbers. Plain Coconut Cream/Milk is better than the ones with added guar gum as this changes the consistency of recipes. You can use Nut Milk as an alternative. 

-Choose to homemade Nut Milk instead of buying. Most store bought ones have additives and stabilisers. Quick Tip: It’s easy to make your own: just grind ¼ cup nuts, then blend with 1 cup water. 

-Choose whole fruits over optional sweeteners if you need to add more sweetness. My preferred choice is Date Paste (pre-soaked Dates). Quick Tip: Keep a jar filled with Dates covered with water, in the fridge ready to go and use as is (instead of actually blending to make Date Paste).

*To melt Cacao Butter - I heat some water in a pot, then place a stainless steel bowl in the pot, add a little heated water to the bowl, and then add a glass bowl in which the Cacao Butter can melt without it getting too hot/burning.

Banana Date Loaf

You’ll notice I had this recipe displayed as 15min or less + baking time. This loaf batter is super quick to whip up. Then all you have to do is set the timer for the baking time and you can get back to some other work or tasks you need to get done while you wait for the loaf to finish baking. I usually bake a few loaves at a time, slice them up and freeze for use later. Having a loaf sliced and ready in the fridge is a welcome quick and health snack to enjoy during the day, as a sweet after dinner, or a great lunch box addition. You can toast slices to warm them up and add Coconut Oil, Nut Butter and raw/sugar-free Jam – yum!

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 160°C / 320°F
  2. Dry Ingredients: Grind the Flaxseeds, Sunflower Seeds, and Almonds into a flour-like consistency, using a blender (with grinder attachment - see description above).
  3. Dry Ingredients: Combine together with the Cinnamon and Baking Powder in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  4. Wet Ingredients: Mash the Bananas then add the rest of the wet ingredients together - mashed Banana, Lemon juice, Oil, Vanilla Extract, & Honey (optional).
  5. Mix everything together. Add the whole pitted Dates and mix well so that they don’t clump together in one spot.
  6. Line a bread baking tin with *baking paper and add the mixture to your bread pan.
*As mentioned above, I use eco-friendly/silicone bread pans or line a bread tin with non-toxic parchment/baking paper.
  7. Bake for 40-50min. You can move the bread pan down to the bottom shelf after 40min to prevent the top of the bread from getting too brown.
Recipe Notes

*Grinding nuts and seeds into flours: As mentioned above, you can use a coffee grinder, or personal blender that has a grinding blade attachment (or a more powerful blender if you have one) to grind down seeds. Flaxseeds are small and a little tough to grind down unless you have a grinding blade/powerful blender as above.

Recipe Notes

Clean Eating Tips to remember:

*Commercial dairy milk is produced in a way that can contribute to The Toxic Fat Effect (Module 2 - content covered in the Masterclass slides/videos, live workshop videos and Video #3 - Milk of the 3 part video series '3 Secretly-'evil' ingredients hiding in your kitchen?'), therefore milk alternatives are a cleaner option. Especially if you can avoid store bought - which also can contain questionable stabilisers, thickeners and other additives which contribute to our Chemical Body Burden (Module 2) which also contributes to The Toxic Fat Effect.

* Milk alternatives include my favourite: Coconut Cream/Milk which can be made by blending water with dried organic preservative-free dried Coconut Flakes (grind dry 1st, before blending), or with fresh coconut meat.

* Other milk alternatives, made by blending ¼ cup ingredients (grind dry 1st, before blending with liquid) per 1 cup of water, include: Cashew Nuts, Almonds, Macadamia Nuts, Brasil Nuts, Hemp Seeds, Sunflower Seeds, Sesame Seeds or any other nut or seed you like! (See Video #3 - Milk for more alternatives)

* Sweetened coffee can still be enjoyed with natural sweeteners - see Video #2 - Sugars in Module 2. One of my favourite whole food sweeteners are dates. I keep a cup of dates soaking in water in a sealed jar in the fridge and blend it with my coffee in a blender to break up the dates and make my coffee frothy and creamy. You can also blend soaked dates with the water they have been soaking in to make date paste and use that instead.
