Hmmm delicious!

As a breastfeeding mumma, sometimes I can really feel i need a hit of something during the day so I have been making these protein packed raw chocolate balls...

delicious raw chocolate balls

Recipe.....

4 cups of Walnuts
1 cup of soaked goji berries
1/4 cup of chai seeds
1-2 cups of sultanas
A handull of Dried apricots or apples
hand full of dates
1/4 cup of coconut
I often put Maca powder in it as well
2-4 tablespoons of Carob or Cacoa powder ( we like Carob powder much yummier)
3- 4 tablespoons of agave nectar

Mix all the ingrediants together in a food processor, then add agave at the end, you can also use honey instead, but you need something to bind all the ingrediants together! I place them in the freezer

And Enjoy.. to be honest they don't last long our house at all!

Our gorgeous Isabelle

Before Isabelle was born I planned to breastfeed her for 12 months, now she is here, I was convinced that I was only going to breastfeed for 12 months, since having Isabelle and discovering the joys of breastfeeding, in not only the bond it creates but knowing that I can give her all the nutrients she needs and immunity through my breast milk, I have often thought now of 'how long will I breastfeed for?' Im still not sure, I know I want to for at least a year, and after meeting many mums who have breastfeed for more than a year I think I will let Isabelle decide...

This article on breastfeeding has some interesting points about colds and infections for those children who are breastfeed for more than a year...
