Fudge

I came across this little gem and I just had to share. It's such a great substitute for candy when you need a chocolate fix.

In blender mix:

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa ( I used raw cocoa powder)
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
dash of salt
1 t. pure vanilla

Blend very well.

Then I like to add raw almonds and unsweetened shredded coconut and blend a few times of chop them up. You can anything though. Store in the freezer. 

Best Green Smoothie EVER!

Okay so I'll be honest, I don't love green smoothies. I drink them because they are good for me but I usually try to get them down as fast as I can. Well that was the case until Scott came up with this little concoction  and I have loved them ever since. When the kids had it for the first time they thought they were having dessert. I hope I haven't built this up way too much but I hope you'll try it ladies. I think it's a keeper.

I use the Wide jar with my Blendtec for the recipe and it makes 2 XL glasses and 3 mini ones for the kids. Feeds the whole fam! :)
