Amazing Super Food Chocolate Fudge Recipe for a Lean and Healthy Body!


Dear Friends and Family,


Many of you have asked me, how on earth did you give up white sugar, white flour, grains, fast food and genetically modified food?  The answer to this question is simple.  I substituted healthy fruits and vegetables and healthy sugars (palm sugar, fruit sugar, yacon syrup, maple syrup) for the white flour, grains, fast food and genetically modified food.  IT ACTUALLY COSTS LESS!  Most fruits and vegetables ARE NOT genetically modified.  But just about all fast food, bread and grains is and is therefore toxic!  


Note: In animal feeding studies genetically modified foods have been shown to cause cancer, infertility, kidney/liver damage, rectal bleeding, stomach lesions, and a brain damage.  Over 90% of the "food" in the U.S. is genetically modified.  Most fruits and vegetables ARE NOT genetically modified.  What is genetically modified and therefore toxic?  Corn, soy, canola, rapeseed oil, cottonseed oil, aspartame, papayas from Hawaii, dairy products, zuchinni, sugar beets, beet sugar, yellow crookneck squash.  genetically modified foods, oils and organisms ARE NOT ALLOWED IN ORGANIC FOODS.

I still keep sugar consumption to a minimum and try to keep my daily consumption down to about 25 - 30 grams of healthy sugar per day.  Here's a great recipe for chocolate fudge to satisfy sweet cravings WITHOUT unhealthy white sugar and toxic genetically modified foods and genetically modified oils.

Ingredients


  • 3/4 cup organic coconut milk (NOT the watered down "light" version which just replaces some of the healthy coconut fat with water...use the real full-fat version).
  • 1 bar of bakers UNSWEETENED chocolate.  A 3 - 5 oz. bar works well.  Get 100% cacao content.  If you can't find 100% cacao bakers chocolate, look for at least 70 - 80% cocoa content on the label of any dark chocolate bar to minimize sugar content!
  • 4 - 5 tablespoons of almond butter, pecan butter, and/or macadamia butter
  • 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, about 25 grams of hemp protein powder 

  • 3 Tablespoons chia seeds, hemp seeds, and/or flax seeds  (optional, but adds crazy amounts of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants...plus a nutty taste)
  • 2 Tablespoons cooked quinoa or millet or organic shredded coconut
  • 2 Tablespoons rice bran (usually only available at health food stores)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A little natural stevia powder, yacon syrup or palm sugar to sweeten (add a small amount to achieve the sweetness you prefer)
  • add a small touch of real organic maple syrup if you want a more "blended" sweetness flavor (keep the amount small to keep sugar content low)
Directions



  • NOTE ON THE COCONUT MILK: don't be afraid of the fats in this... coconut fat is mostly medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) that are more readily used for energy and also contain a special fat called Lauric Acid, which is extremely healthy and supports the immune system.

  • Start by adding the coconut milk.  Cans of organic unsweetened coconut milk are available at most health food stores and possibly even your grocery store.  Coconut ,milk in the refrigerator section at Whole Foods is much better than canned.  Add the coconut milk and 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, quinoa (or millett) 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 mixtures 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 glass 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

  • Enjoy small squares of this delicious healthy "super-food" fudge for dessert and for small snacks throughout the day. This is about as good as it gets for a healthy yet delicious treat

  • Even though this is a healthier dessert idea that's lower in sugar and higher in nutrition than most sweet treats, keep in mind that it is still calorie dense, so keep your portions reasonable.  Give this recipe a try and I guarantee that you'll LOVE it...

    Yes, you can be healthy AND eat healthy without overdosing on grains and sugar and subjecting yourself to toxic drugs and risky surgery!  Yes, you can!
