As a Licensed Vitamin Specialist, I like to seek out methods to arrange scrumptious meals that most individuals cannot consider are literally wholesome for you. When you have a candy tooth like me, I am positive you have tried to seek out methods to nonetheless take pleasure in candy treats, but additionally attempt to make them more healthy than typical junk meals desserts.
The main drawback with most so-called “wholesome” desserts is that the majority corporations try and make them more healthy by decreasing the fats content material and thereby rising the sugar content material or synthetic sweeteners… there’s nothing wholesome about both of these!
Under is my well-known wholesome chocolate-peanut-butter fudge recipe that takes solely 5 minutes to make and is basically easy. The good factor is that I exploit no added sugars, no synthetic sweeteners, and all wholesome fats sources. You will see why beneath.
My wholesome chocolate-peanut-butter fudge recipe (peanut butter might be omitted for those who favor plain chocolate):
- Further darkish chocolate bar (3-4 oz bar works effectively — search for no less than 70% cocoa content material, between 70-85% — this minimizes the sugar content material)

- 2/3 to three/4 cup of natural coconut milk (nice supply of wholesome saturated fat from medium chain triglycerides – MCTs)
- 2 tbsp rice bran (extra wholesome fiber supply)
- 2 tbsp oat bran (extra wholesome fiber together with soluble fiber)
- 1/2 cup uncooked pecans, almonds, or walnuts (sure, extra wholesome fat, antioxidants, and tons of nutritional vitamins/minerals)
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins (optionally available based mostly in your tastes)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- slightly stevia to evenly sweeten (stevia is a pure non-caloric sweetener versus harmful artificial sweeteners)
Begin with the coconut milk, nut butter, and chocolate bar in a medium saucepan and put it on the bottom warmth attainable. Repeatedly stir because the chocolate, coconut milk, and nut butter melts collectively. As soon as these soften collectively add in all the different elements and stir collectively very effectively.
As soon as all the things is combined effectively collectively, unfold the combination onto some waxed paper specified by a baking dish and throw it within the fridge to solidify.
