Chocolate Orange Thyroid Tarts
Two of these little Brazil nut-based tarts gives you your daily dose of thyroid-loving selenium. They're also low in sugar & high in healthy fats so they make a wonderful blood-sugar balancing breakfast or mid afternoon snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Brazil nuts, soaked & drained
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- Juice + zest from 1/2 a large organic orange (critical to choose organic when using the rind of a fruit)
- 8 dates, soaked in hot water, & pitted
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp flakey sea salt
- 1 bar of high quality dark chocolate
- optional toppings: coconut, candied ginger or orange slices, pumpkin seeds, chili
Instructions
Add all of the ingredients except the chocolate, salt and toppings to a food processor & pulse until mixed well. Take 1 tbs of the mixture and press into the bottom of mini muffin tins. Melt dark chocolate (I like to throw a glass bowl over a pot of boiling water to melt) and spread 1 tbs onto the top of your tart crusts. Sprinkle with flakey sea salt and other optional toppings of choice and let set in the freezer for 1 hour before serving or storing the fridge (1 week) or freezer (2 months).
