Almond Butter Chocolates

Life is a series of choices, and the ones we make decide our future.  Some are good and some are bad and the same applies to our food choices.  “We are what we eat” is true, and it is a scientifically proven fact the our food choices affect our health, our bodies and our mind.  Sometimes we have to resist that urge to stuff our mouths with  decadent chocolate brownies and sumptuous sugar laden desserts that we all love so much.

And how do we do this? Well in my case, with the help of my beautiful talented daughter-in-law Kelly, who provides me with the most delicious healthy, sugar free, nutritious and mouthwatering recipes which for brief moments in my life, lead me back onto the straight and narrow healthy path. Follow Kelly on Instagram @nourishedthru for loads of healthy recipes.  These Almond Butter chocolates are the perfect example of getting a chocolate fix the healthy way.

They are made with a few simple healthy ingredients – coconut oil, almond butter, cacao, vanilla and honey.  The almond butter and coconut oil are melted on the stove and once they are soft and cooled slightly to preserve the heat sensitive nutrients in them,  the cacao and vanilla is added and then the chocolate mixture poured  into silicon chocolate moulds.  You can then place them in the freezer until set.   Make sure you keep them in the fridge before serving, as they become very soft if left out at room temperature.   Simple, delicious and healthy too.
