For those of us who are mindful of blood sugar – whether you’re managing insulin sensitivity, reducing sugar intake, or just trying to feel more stable energy throughout the day – snacking can feel like a minefield.
So many treats promise to be “healthy,” but still make your glucose spike. Quick spike, quick crash. You’re left hungry, tired, and wondering why your focus disappeared mid-afternoon.
We’ve been working and consuming our pure cacao daily, so this recipe is different and perfect for you if you care about glucose-friendly snack ideas.
Made with our pure ceremonial cacao, natural fats, protein, and spices that support blood sugar balance, these cacao bites are rich, satisfying, and won’t spike your glucose. They’re ideal for a small mid-morning or late-afternoon moment – just enough to ground you without setting off cravings.
It’s real food. Real flavour. Real balance.
Ceremonial Cacao Energy Bites (Glucose-Stable Snack)
This pure cacao low glycemic snack is designed to be a real ally in your day. Let’s go!
Ingredients
• 50g Jungle Delicacy pure ceremonial cacao
• 3 tbsp tahini or almond butter (no added sugar)
• 2 tbsp coconut flakes (unsweetened)
• 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
• ½ tsp cinnamon (supports insulin sensitivity)
• A pinch of sea salt
• Optional: A few drops of stevia or monk fruit (if you prefer a sweeter bite)
• Optional: crushed walnuts, hemp seeds, or pumpkin seeds for texture
Instructions
- Gently melt the cacao mass using a double boiler or a heat-proof bowl over simmering water. Stir until smooth but avoid overheating.
- Stir in the tahini or almond butter until fully combined.
- Add in the flaxseed, cinnamon, sea salt, coconut flakes, and any optional extras. Mix well until it forms a thick paste.
- Let the mixture cool slightly, then roll into small balls using your hands.
- Place the bites on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to set.
Keeps well in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
Why This Snack Works
• No added sugars. Sweetness, if you want it, comes from monk fruit or stevia—zero glycemic impact. Perfect for those looking for sugar-free cacao recipes.
• Balanced macros. Healthy fats + fibre = slow release of energy.
• Cinnamon is a known glucose-support spice, and ceremonial cacao and insulin sensitivity go hand in hand thanks to its magnesium and polyphenol content.
• Ideal as a healthy cacao snack for diabetics, or anyone wanting a glucose-friendly cacao treat without the crash.
You don’t need to give up pleasure to care for your glucose. You just need the right ingredients!
