Hemp Marzipan Superfood Monsters
These healthy Halloween monsters are made using raw vegan hemp marzipan! They get their naturally vibrant colouring from plant pigments, phytonutrients, found in raw & organic superfood powders such as Acai and Spirulina, so there is no need to add in any nasty artificial colours.
Here is a list of superfoods for the colourings
Use freeze dried raspberries to decorate
Make these little marzipan monsters with a blender, some clingfilm or kitchen paper, and your imagination!

- 50 50 g hulled hemp seeds
- 60 60 g skinless, flaked almonds (preferably soaked overnight)

Method
Method
- Pick out any darker-coloured parts of the hemp seeds.
- Blend all the ingredients until smooth, then blot with clingfilm or kitchen paper.
- For the green monster we made one batch with spirulina, the miracle superfood from the sea, and a second batch with barleygrass, a close cousin to dark green leafy vegetables this young grass offers a great nutrient density.
- For the purple monster we made one batch with acai, an incredibly antioxidant-rich berry and a second batch with purple corn extract and acai. Both of these plants take their purple colour from plant-nutrient anthocyanin.
- Mould your marzipan into spooky little monsters.
- Place freeze-dried raspberries on a cocktail stick to create a red staff.
