The superstar ingredient: Radiance Beetroot Powder
This 100% beetroot powder offers a sweet yet tangy flavour that tastes great in soups, baked goods or go-to smoothie – try them in one of my favourite recipes.
In addition to providing added antioxidants for your overall health, this beetroot powder is packed with vitamins and minerals – and is superb if you’re in need of an energy boost or looking to avoid the 3pm slump.

Seeds are such a versatile food group that can be added to almost any dish. From your favourite salad or soup to smoothies or brekkie bowls – they're great for adding a delicious crunch.

Ingredients:
- ½ cup mixed frozen berries, defrosted and blended smooth
- ½ cup coconut milk
- ¼ cup Chantal Organics Rice Syrup
- 2 Tablespoons BioBalance Certified Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 2 ½ cups desiccated coconut
- ½ cup ROAR Organic Seed Mix Activated (optional: blitz a few times in a food processor for a finer texture)
- 1 Tablespoon Radiance Beetroot Powder
Chocolate shell
- 200g dark chocolate, melted (I recommend Bennetto)
Additional toppings
- Chopped nuts or seeds
- Sea salt
- Edible dried flower petals
Method:
- In a medium bowl combine the coconut milk, melted coconut oil, rice malt syrup and vanilla with the desiccated coconut. Then, add the blended berries and beetroot powder, and mix well.
- Add the seed mix to the bowl. If the mixture is too moist, add a little extra desiccated coconut.
- Spread into a lined 20cmx20cm container and pop in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the freezer and cut into roughly 14 pieces. Mould into shape with your hands (I like to round the edges a little) and place onto a parchment-lined tray. Put back into the freezer while you prepare the chocolate.
- Melt the dark chocolate, ready for dipping.
- Dip each cooled coconut bar into the melted dark chocolate, and place back onto the parchment paper to set. Drizzle with a little extra chocolate to decorate, and sprinkle over a combination of dried flower petals, nuts, and/or flaky sea salt. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
