Healthy Fudge
Ingredients (as always, as organic as possible)
|
3/4 cup organic coconut milk (the thick
kind, or make your own with coconut milk powder, a little
over half a cup, and a little over a quarter cup of water
and blend)
1 bar (3-5 oz. bar works well) of bakers unsweetened
chocolate - 100% cacao content
4-5 Tablespoons of peanut butter or your favorite nut butter
(real peanut butter, not Jiff or Skippy)
3/4 cup goji berries
(optional)
1/2 cup whole raw almonds or other nuts (optional)
1/4 cup raw chopped pecans (optional) |
1 scoop of your favorite whey protein powder
3 Tablespoons
Omegasentials (or flax/chia seeds)
2 Tablespoons rice bran (usually only available at health
food stores)
2 Tablespoons whole oats or oat bran
1/2 Teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 Cup Organic Zero |
Start by adding the
coconut milk (cans of organic coconut milk are available at most
health food stores and possibly even your grocery store) and vanilla
extract to a small saucepan on VERY low heat
― the lowest heat setting. Break
up the extra dark chocolate bar into chunks and add into pot. Add
the nut butters and the stevia, and continuously stir until it all
melts together into a smooth mixture.
Then add the goji berries, nuts, seeds, protein powder, oat bran, and
rice bran and stir until fully blended. If the mixture becomes too
thick or dry consistency, just add a small amount more coconut milk.
If the mixture seems too wet, keep in mind that it will solidify a
good bit once it goes in the fridge.
Spoon/pour the fudge mixture onto some waxed paper in a dish and
place in the fridge until it cools and solidifies together (3-4
hours). Cut into squares once firm and place in a closed container
or cover with foil in fridge to prevent it from drying out.
This is a great source
of carbs, healthy fats, and fiber. It is very filling and a perfect
treat before you exercise. Just don't eat too much. One or two
little squares is perfect.
If you double the
amount of goji berries, you've made yourself one powerful
antioxidant bar.
