Glow Wild Gut-Friendly Gummies
Molly Dovey at The Gut Instinct (@thegut.instinct) sent us wild with her recipe for Gut-Friendly Gummies which are made with our Glow Wild Rose Latte Powder. Jam-packed with a blend of skin purifying and cooling herbs, this latte powder is your answer to a glowing and healthy complexion. Rose Powder is used for its anti-inflammatory properties, Sariva because of its ability to soothe and clear complexions and Manjistha for its detoxification qualities. Coconut Milk Powder is also added for flavour and its anti-ageing properties, and Rose is said to nourish the heart and mind. And all ingredients are gut-approved by Molly, for a healthy happy tummy.
Ingredients
1 cup Whole Fat Coconut Milk
120ml Cold Water
1 tbsp Glow Wild Rose Latte Powder
2-4 tbsp Maple Syrup (depending on how sweet you’d like them)
1 ½ tsp Agar Powder

In a small saucepan, and over a medium to high heat, whisk together the ingredients.
-
Once it reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat and carefully pour the mixture into your mould. The jelly will start to set straight away so have your mould ready.
-
Allow this to set for 10 minutes and leave to cool by refrigerating overnight or for at least 1 hour.
-
Pop out the jellies from the mould and you’re good to go!

Cacao, Rose & Strawberry Pudding
This pudding is a heavenly combination of creamy chocolate, fragrant rose, and fruity strawberry. It makes for a delicious yet healthy dessert packed with Glow Wild Rose Latte powder, for dewy and healthy skin.
Ingredients
2 avocados
250ml non-dairy milk (almond is our favourite)
4-5 tbsp (or to taste) date syrup
1 tbsp Love Cacao powder
3 tbsp Cacao powder
1/2 tsp rosewater
1 tsp Glow Wild powder
1 tsp Vanilla extract
15 strawberries
Serves 2
Recipe
1. First, make the strawberry layer. Blend the strawberries with 2 tbsp date syrup in a blender. If you want a thicker and more syrupy consistency, place it in a saucepan over low-medium heat until reduced. Cool before use.
2. To make the chocolate layer, blend the avocado, Love Cacao powder, Glow Wild powder, milk, rosewater, vanilla, and the remaining date syrup into a smooth pudding. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
3. Layer the strawberry and chocolate mixtures equally between 2 serving glasses. We love to top each with coconut cream, flaked almonds and a dusting of rose petals!
