Cashews are extremely high in Tryptophan that helps to increase our levels of the “happy inducing neurotransmitter” Seratonin.
Dark chocolate contains Flavanols – that improves mood, and Phenylethylamine – this increases the release of dopamine that motivates us to do something again
Ingredients
120g cashews
120g brazil nuts
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
150gm pitted Medjool Dates
150g melted dark chocolate

- Blend nuts together for 20 seconds then add the dates and vanilla.
- The longer you blend the nuts the more of their natural oils are released.
