I wanted to share an easy and healthy dessert or snack with you today.
I have talked about Kelly LeVeque and her book Body Love before on the blog.
I make a version of her Fab 4 Smoothie every morning for breakfast and have completely jumped on the smoothie bandwagon thanks to her.
She does such a great job explaining why having the right protein/fat/fiber/greens combo can shut down your hunger hormones and keep you full for hours, plus tons more, in her book. I can’t recommend it enough!
Well…. during my 31 Day Challenge of daily workouts (almost done! 2 days to go!) I have unfortunately been baking and eating a fair amount of desserts.
Whoops! I like baking on Sundays…. and it’s been cold and rainy…. so…. ya know.
But I decided it was time to try this Freezer Fudge recipe that I had read about and sounded like a great treat.
It’s basically a healthy fat bomb to satisfy the craving without sending you spiraling into a sugar coma.
I made mine with a little bit of PB2, because let’s be honest, I am obsessed with PB2 and who doesn’t love the taste of peanut butter with their chocolate?!
I ordered the rubber ice cube molds off of Amazon to make it easy to pop them out of the tray!
After taking them out of the mold, I just stored them in a ziplock bag in the freezer, which you will want to do because they melt at room temperature.
- 1 cup coconut oil
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 8-10 drops liquid stevia
- ¼ -1/2 cup Almond Butter (Optional if you desire a thicker consistency. I used PB2 instead)
- Maldon or Pink salt (Optional)
- Melt Coconut Oil in glass pyrex bowl.
- Whisk in coco powder and stevia. (and almond butter if you don't love coconut oil consistency)
- Pour into ice cube tray.
- Sprinkle with Salt
- Freeze. Fudge is ready in 20 minutes
