Hi guys! I love Saturday’s! Today started with an early rise and a good cuppa! I watched “Supernanny” US (love it!) whilst photographing my little chicks. Isn’t it great when you can just potter around?
Next came two fabulous classes – Vinyasa-flow yoga and Zumbaaaaaa! My abs hurt now!
I was totally lazy last night and still had to clean the dishes from last nights dinner of hazelnut tofu salad. Phil picked the tofu up for me when he was on his lunch break, along with some coconut water – i know, he’s a keeper for sure 
Now, into my superfood Saturday recipe, that is based on lacuma. A caramel/butterscotch flavoured powder derived from a tropical fruit that is found in Peru. The health benefits of lacuma are; lots of B vitamins, provides a lot of fibre, is of low acidity so disrupts the body much less than acidic foods. Lacuma also contains iron, calcium and has a low sugar content so is also useful for diabetics.
These oaty lacuma buttons are bitesized pieces of caramelly flapjack. The miniature size is great if you need a little pre/post/during workout snack, with the lacuma and oats providing slow carb release 
Mix it all together!
Get ready for your close up!

Love lacuma so much! Though I always say it/ spell it lucuma! You’ve reminded me that I need to restock on it soon, and will definitely give your recipe a go…I have been trying to make good raw flapjack for ages!

Tofu hazelnut cutlets sound interesting! I’ve never seen anything like that. I’ve also never heard of lacuma, but I’m intrigued not only by the flavor description but the health benefits! I’m gonna keep my eye out for that now. It sounds amazing!
Wow those look great! I’ve never even heard of lucma before but I love discovering new things and learning about new ingredients. I want to find some now and try it! You’re such a creative cook Emma
Mmm… adding almond extract to a dish makes it better every time! I used to work at coffee shops, and I always loved when people would order almond lattes. The smell of the syrup and the espresso and milk mixing together was amazing.
These look awesome! I love the little molds you put them….they’re like little bite size treats! Now all I’ve got to do is get my hands on some lucuma!
Oh they sound so yummy! I still haven’t tried lucuma but I love mesquite
lacuma is my fave! it’s kinda like caramel
