 Still on my quest for healthy ways to gain weight, and these babies are AMAZING! They're like little ice cream bites, and they taste just like cookies and cream ice cream! The wonderful thing about them is that they use no Oreos, no additives, and no chemicals! Let's be real here, Oreos are practically a chemical cocktail, and our bodies do not need the extra toxins! These fat bombs are, gluten-free, sugar-free, organic, Paleo, Keto, and absolutely DELICIOUS! The cookie part is made with almond flour and cacao powder, and they're really easy to convert to dairy-free if you don't eat dairy! Cookies N' Cream Fat Bombs!
Ingredients:
For the "Oreo Cookie" Crumbs: 2/3 cup almond flour 2 Tbs. cacao powder (heaping) 3 Tbs. Lakanto powdered sweetener 2 Tbs. butter (melted) pinch of salt For the Vanilla Cream: 2/3 cup full fat coconut milk 4 Tbs. Lakanto powdered sweetener pinch of salt 2/3 cup of heavy whipping cream (or chilled coconut cream) 2 tsp. vanilla extract Directions:
*Use organic ingredients when feasible!

 Who doesn't LOVE chocolate!? I've always been a chocolate lover and when I was diagnosed with Lyme I thought I would have to give up chocolate for good! The good news is that I really only gave it up for a year, and I found healthy ways to eat chocolate in small proportions so it doesn't make me sick! This chocolate cake was a hit for my whole family and it's completely organic, refined-sugar free, AND vegan! Yep, that's right! No animal products in this cake! I also have found in my healthy baking pursuit that it's really difficult to make healthy cakes that aren't super dry, but I've FINALLY mastered a refined sugar-free recipe that is super moist and very fudgy on the inside! Even the glaze is sugar free and it adds the final finishing touch to this beautiful cake! I also used cacao powder in this recipe instead of cocoa. Cacao is considered a super food and helps boost your mood and your immune system! Eating chocolate in the right amounts can be good for your body! What a relief!! Vegan Fudge Cake!
Ingredients:
2 cups coconut milk 2 Tbs. apple cider vinegar 1/2 cup raw honey 1/2 organic maple syrup 2/3 cup organic grapeseed oil 2 Tbs. pure vanilla extract (Yes that's correct! Bring on the flavor!) 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour 2 cups whole wheat bread flour 2/3 cup cacao powder (sifted) 2 tsp. baking soda 1 1/4 tsp. salt Chocolate Glaze: 2 Tbs. coconut oil, melted (or if you don't mind it not being vegan you can use organic butter) 1/4 cup powdered Lakanto sweetener 1 Tbs. cacao powder 2-3 Tbs. coconut milk 1 tsp. vanilla extract Directions:

 Okay, I know that it's still January and not quite Valentines season yet, BUT.... I LOVE Valentines day, and I needed something to cheer me up through these gray January days. So... Claire's Kisses were born!! These are a little different than my other chocolate recipes in that they are made with organic cacao wafers, and cacao is a super food that boosts mood, energy, and immune function! It's a common myth that eating healthy means that you don't eat anything that tastes good, and I'm here to say that you DO NOT have to deprive yourself just because you choose to eat and live a healthful life! Confession.... I used to be OBSESSED with Hershey's chocolate kisses! I was that girl in high school that always had a bag of them in my locker, and I probably consumed a handful a day. I wouldn't recommend that for anyone whether you have a chronic illness or not! So... I'm SUPER EXCITED about these because they're organic, refined sugar-free, and full of nutrients that your body will love! Stay tuned for different flavored chocolate recipes all through the month of February because this is for sure my new favorite recipe!! Also, thanks to A Bite of Healthy for helping me out with this recipe! My sister is the creator of this food blog, and she is a food GENIUS! So go check out her blog here. Claire's Chocolate Kisses!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup cacao wafers 4 1/2 Tbs. maple syrup 2 tsp. vanilla extract 3 Tbs. coconut butter 1 tsp. coconut oil Directions:

I would HIGHLY ENCOURAGE you to make your own coconut butter! It's a super simple process and it makes enough coconut butter to fill a small jar!
All you have to do is take two cups of shredded coconut and blend it in a small blender on high until coconut reaches a creamy texture! Store it in the fridge when you're done and enjoy it in lots of your healthy recipes! 
 Hello! This is your friendly sugar free chocoholic, and I'm here to tell you that IT IS POSSIBLE to eat chocolate and be healthy! This is one of my FAVORITE recipes, and I have to consciously decide to only eat one a day because they taste so similar to store-bought candy! These are so yummy, creamy, and filled with peanut butter! What a great combination! ;) These are also organic, and refined sugar-free like always, and makes a great treat for the holidays! Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup coconut oil 1/2 cup almond butter 1/2 cup raw honey 2 tsp. vanilla extract 1/2 cup cocoa powder (at least 80% cacao, sifted) 1/2 cup organic peanut butter 1/4 cup powdered Lakanto 1 tsp vanilla extract Directions:
*Makes 24 chocolates *Store in refrigerator

Food is one of the greatest forms of science, art, medicine, and sustenance all at the same time! It's what feeds our lives and pumps through our blood. It's what connects us and what gives us energy to fulfill our purpose. It is for that reason that I have a deep passion for discovering, cooking, and eating only the most nutrient dense foods. In my kitchen, we only use organic, whole ingredients that feed the body, as well as the mind and soul. My hope is to inspire healing through healthy AND delicious food that feeds not only our stomachs, but also our hunger for connection and quality of life.
