I was playing in the kitchen ( as it is my favourite place to be!) and this just sorta happened! I will definitely be making these again soon, because they were delicious...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but and now they are gone! (sad face!) I have made them a few times, but this last time I altered the recipe a bit, adding almond butter. I like this version the best! You can make it nut-free, but it just might not hold together as well, and you'll need to add more dates and/ or maple syrup.</div>

<div style="font-size: 10pt;">
First, you actually make the SECOND layer....and then set aside - the reason is so that you don't have to clean the food processor in-between, because the middle layer is coconut (white) and the bottom layer is brown (chocolate/almond/date.)...so by making the second layer first, if a little bit of coconut is left in the food processor, no big deal. Make your life simpler by not having to rinse out the food processor - since it will all be part of the same recipe. Easy Peasy, my friends!!</div>
<div style="font-size: 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 10pt;">
<strong>Middle layer:</strong></div>
<div style="font-size: 10pt;">
2 cups of unsweetened coconut flakes</div>
<div style="font-size: 10pt;">
2 tbsp coconut sugar </div>
<div style="font-size: 10pt;">
<span style="background-color: white;">1 tbsp coconut oil </span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">2 tbsp raw almond butter </span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(I made mine fresh using my own sprouted dehydrated almonds, but you can use almond butter from a jar - blog post coming soon on how to make your own almond butter!)</span></span><br />

<div style="font-size: 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 10pt;">
Directions:</div>
<div style="font-size: 10pt;">
Add in all the ingredients, whir it up, and scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed - let it go round and round for a while, until the mixture is very smooth and a bit oily. Maybe do some jumping jacks or yoga while it's going. You'll feel really productive....yeah....you go girl! When it's smooth and consistent, scrape out the contents into another bowl and set aside.</div>

<span style="background-color: white;">2 cups raw almonds (I sprouted and dehydrated mine, (blog post coming soon on how to do this - or use what you have on hand.</span></div>

<br />
Directions:<br />
In food processor, using the S-blade, start processing the 2 cups of almonds. After about 20 seconds, add in the dates, raw almond butter, cacao powder, mesquite powder, vanilla bean powder, cinnamon and sea salt. Process until it is well mixed, and the whole mixture looks a bit like dough. Add the maple syrup last, drizzling in a little tiny bit at a time, (while it is mixing!) This helps it to stick together, but depending on how fresh/ sticky the dates are will depend on how much maple syrup you need. You want the dough to stick together. When you grab a little handful, it should stick together.<br />
<br />
<strong>Top layer:</strong><br />
1/3 cup raw cacao butter<br />
2 tbsp raw cacao powder<br />
1.5 tbsp maple syrup<br />
pinch sea salt<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
Melt the cacao butter on low heat using a double boiler. (I actually have this melting before I start the first two layers, so it is all ready to go!) Once melted, add in the raw cacao powder, maple syrup, and sea salt. Using a whisk, mix it up well. Taste it. Yummy enough? Perfect! If not, add a bit more maple syrup. Too thin? Then add another tbsp cacao powder. I know this is looking pretty "liquidy" but it will harden up when it's chilled, and it will be sooooo delicious!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Ok putting it all together:</b><br />
1) Use a pan/ dish with 90 degree angles on it. Line it with parchment paper - this will make your life so much easier!<br />
Add the bottom chocolatey "dough" layer. Use another piece of parchment paper to press it down firmly. Squish, squish, squish it down and smooth it out flat. Fit it into the corners, and ensure it is evenly pressed.<br />
<br />
2) Next, add the second coconut layer. Do the same as the first layer...press, press, press. Use that top layer of parchment to help you - keeps your hands clean. (Or you will have to lick them!)<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></div>

3) Lastly, pour the raw chocolate topping....The chocolate will be liquidy when you pour it, but it will firm up once cold. Top the dish with chopped almonds, gogi berries, or whatever dried fruit/ nuts you might like. I put almonds on top, so people know that there are almonds IN the recipe...in case there are allergies. You can also sprinkle with a bit of the raw coconut flakes, and/ or the coconut sugar too:)<br />
<br />
4) Put it in the fridge or freezer for at least 10 minutes - to several hours. Cutting when cold will help to keep the bars together. You can cut the pieces and arrange them nicely on a plate, or place in cute little flowery muffin cups. Those are always fun, and people might mistake you for Martha Stewart!<br />

BIG NEWS! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Chilly Lilley Super Food Bliss Balls!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
I have some pretty big news today! Three exciting things to share, in fact!<br />
<br />
<br />
1) First Thing......My Superfood Bliss Balls are now for sale at the Urban Grocer in Lethbridge. Check them out <a href="http://urbangrocer.ca/" target="_blank">here</a>. Pick up your very own 6-pack for $10 today!<br />
<br />
2) Second thing...<br />
I was feeling a bit like I had been living under a rock... and had been avoiding doing this certain things for the past few years, but today I am embracing it!<br />
<br />
I feel like today is the day.<br />
<br />
It's the right moment... to....<br />
<br />
<br />
join Instagram. It's true...<br />
<br />
So I did it. <br />
<br />
I joined Instagram!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
3) Ok, the third exciting thing:<br />
I also started up a brand new Facebook page for "Chilly Lilley: Goddess Food and Skincare!" Having a business page was much easier to communicate with people, than having "Chilly Lilley" looking like a person page.<br />
<br />
So....Please Click <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Chilly-Lilley-Goddess-Food-Skincare/459497370879910?ref=hl" target="_blank">HERE</a> to follow Chilly Lilley: Goddess Food & Skincare on Facebook! <br />

<br />
I started up a new Facebook page called "Chilly Lilley : Goddess Food and Skincare".<br />
<br />
Here is the direct link!<br />

Please check it out and "like" it to receive updates about upcoming classes, products, events, and giveaways!<br />
<br />
I have been producing my own skincare products and they have been just flying off the shelves!<br />
People are beginning to understand that everything you put ON your skin gets absorbed INTO your body! This is why it is so important to only put things on your skin that are pure and natural. My skincare products are so clean, you could even eat them!<br />

Camu Camu Berry Lemonade Quencher</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Robyn Lilley</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did you know that 1 tsp of Camu Camu berry powder contains 12 times the recommended daily intake of vitamin C? It is low glycemic and has an incredibly high ORAC value. This is a high vibrational superfood! It has a tangy slightly sharp taste, so it is easier consumed when it is sweetened with a high quality natural sweetener such as maple syrup or honey. For this recipe, I chose maple syrup because I love the flavour of maple syrup, and a few drops of stevia gives it an extra punch of sweetness to counteract the tart flavour of the camu camu berry. This is a lemonade to drink when you need an extra pick-me-up, when you are coming down with a cold, or if you have a big day the next day and you want to shine your brightest!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 tbsp camu camu berry powder</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/4 cup lemon juice</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 tbsp maple syrup (the good stuff…no Aunt Jamima here!)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 litre filtered water</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 drops liquid stevia</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Directions: </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Blend all ingredients in a blender. Add ice if desired. Serve in your favourite, prettiest glass. Enjoy!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I have had success with freezing almond milk in a glass mason jar for later use. This worked well when I first discovered almond milk and was preparing for a camping trip. I really wanted to take some almond milk with me for the week, and so I tucked a few frozen jars of almond milk into the cooler. The frozen milk also doubled as an “ice pack” for the rest of our food. It was delicious on my morning muesli!</span></div>

This recipe is ideal for breakfast, but delicious enough to enjoy for dessert! I LOVE this chia pudding! So easy and fast to make. Full of protein and good omega fats. Easy to digest. Best of all it is RAW, and doesn't involve any cooking. I usually make my own almond milk, which is so much better than store bought, but you could use whatever milk you have on hand. Enjoy!</div>

Directions: place all ingredients in your high-speed blender and blend well. Add more water if needed. Add ice if you plan to keep your smoothie cold for a long period of time. This is an awesome way to get your greens into your diet anytime of day. I prefer to drink it in the morning. I feel good knowing that I have had my greens before 7am…if I can do that I can get on with my day knowing I've put some awesome nutrients into my body and I'm ready to face the day! </div>

1/4 cup cocoa powder</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
3 tbsp maple syrup (the pure stuff - no Aunt Jamima sugar syrup here!!)</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
pinch himalayan sea salt (or another kind of high quality sea salt</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
1/2 tsp vanilla powder (you can just use liquid vanilla extract if you don't have vanilla powder).</div>

Directions:</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
In a food processor fitted with an S blade, process the almonds until broken down, but not into a powder, while the food processor is running, add the pitted medjool dates, and let process for a minute or so. Next, add the cocoa powder, sea salt, and the vanilla. Lastly, add the maple syrup slowly until the mixture starts to stick together a bit more. Usually, the whole mixture starts to form a sort of a big clump as it goes around and around. This is good. What you don't want is to add too much maple syrup too quickly so that it gets too sticky and the mixture sticks to the side of the container. This makes it more difficult and messy to form into balls.</div>

Stop the food processor and start rolling into balls. I think the batch I made made about 25 or so bite-sized balls. I ate 5 on the way to the party I made them for - couldn't help myself....they are so darn tasty! lol. Enjoy!!</div>

Tip: sometimes I add in other random bulk ingredients from my pantry, like a small handful of gogi berries, raisins, pumpkin seeds, or hemp hearts! You can also experiment by substituting other types of nuts such as walnuts or pecans. So yummy. I know you will enjoy these!</div>

<br />
It's been a while since I've written on my blog. I had an absolutely amazing time in Australia, on my teaching exchange. I learned so much about teaching, but most importantly about the world, about Australia, about myself, and about my place in it! I would love to visit Australia again soon to visit all the friends I made while I was away. It is hard to believe it has been a year since I have been back in Canada. Time has seriously flown by so fast!<br />
<br />
I've been meaning to hop on this blog thing to see if it works. I actually totally forgot all about it! Anyways, here I am, saying hello to you again. So….hellooooooo:) Are you out there?<br />
<br />
My plan is to start using my blog more often. I want to start adding recipes, links, and other fun bits of information that I come across. Most things will refer to health and wellness, but other topics might include teaching (I am a grade three teacher!), hula hooping, salsa dancing, making superfood icings, making healing and medicinal teas and elixirs, singing funny songs, reading good books, and creating amazing and edible lip gloss (which I am quite obsessed about lately!), crafting body butters and natural skincare products, and about eating all sorts of delicious things. I looooooove food - both eating it and wearing it - especially on my face as part of a face mask!<br />
<br />
Here's me at the Urban Grocer with my latest shipment of Chilly Lilley Bliss Balls. Cheryl is the owner of the store, and she has been kind enough to feature them in her store and sell them for me. When I went in today I saw that they are almost out, so it is almost time to make more very soon!<br />
<br />
The Urban Grocer is having an open house on Thursday, December 5th, of which I will be a part of. I will be making some gift pack sample sizes of my beauty care products and food products, for people to purchase as Christmas gifts! Hope to see you there. I will have gift certificates available for my upcoming classes.<br />
