This is the easiest way to puff quinoa and make delicious energy bites!
Energy balls
-100 g puffed quinoa
-1/3 cup pistachio butter
-1 small banana
-2tbsp agave
-1tbsp coconut oil
-2tbsp flax seed
-1/2 cup almond flour
FOR COATING:
-100g white chocolate melted mixed with 1 teasp matcha powder, chopped pistachios ,1tbsp coconut oil and a pinch of sea salt
Puffing the quinoa:
* On medium heat, add half a cup of quinoa at a time to a non-stick pan, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
* You’ll notice that some of the quinoa will start puffing.
* Not all will puff, so remove from the heat before the puffed ones start burning.
* To separate the puffed ones from the unpuffed, you can use a mesh sieve with large holes.
Energy Bites:
1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate.
2. Once chilled, the mixture will be easier to handle and shape into balls.
3. Coat the energy balls in the matcha pistachio chocolate mixture.
4. Refrigerate again to let the coating solidify.
5. These energy balls will be soft inside with a crunchy exterior—best served straight from the fridge.
Alternative Coatings:
* Roll the energy balls in coconut flakes or substitute almond flour with coconut flour.
* You can also coat them in dark chocolate and chopped hazelnuts, using peanut butter instead of pistachio butter, and oat flour instead of almond flour. For extra flavor, add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder.

Skincare treatment are expensive and full of chemicals. You can use aloe Vera to make your own fully natural skincare cream!
📖recipe
* 3/4 cup aloe gel
* 100 ml olive oil
* 20-30 g beeswax
1. It’s very important to soak the aloe leaves in water for around 3-4 hours, changing the water 2 to 3 times during soaking, to get rid of the latex, which is the yellow liquid that comes out when the leaves are cut.
2. After soaking, use a knife to cut off the sides of the leaves and remove the rest of the skin, then scoop out the gel.
3. Blend the gel until smooth in consistency.
4. In a glass jar, double-boil the olive oil and beeswax until completely melted.
5. Let it cool for around 10-15 minutes, then incorporate the aloe vera gel.
6. Store in the fridge up to a month
NOTE:
It helps to moisturise the skin, get rid of spot marks, soothe irritated skin, healing wounds and anti aging.
