Ingredient Highlights
Cashews are a good source of healthy dietary fats and essential minerals, including copper, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc.
Chia seeds are a fantastic source of plant-based protein, boasting 4 grams per ounce. They’re loaded with antioxidants, which fight disease-causing free radicals.
Coconut butter can be made at home by placing gregular, unsweetened shredded coconut in a food processor or high-speed blender and blending until it turns a consistency similar to nut butter. Add a bit of coconut oil if too dry.
Lemon is high in vitamin C and contains potent antioxidants that support a healthy immune system and respiratory function.
With the Organixx Clean Sourced Collagens in this recipe, you not only get 5 different types of collagen, but also camu camu, acerola cherry, horsetail extract (silica), and zinc gluconate to ensure your body can actually USE the collagen you’re taking.
Cool!
I'll have to give this recipe a try..
I tried it. Absolutely delicious! I love them! Taste like lemon desserts.
I didn't have an organic lemon so I used 1 drop lemon essential oil instead of lemon zest. Yummy!
