Healthy Choc Peanut Butter Cups

Are you a sucker for peanut butter cups? We have you covered! This super simple recipe is a healthy spin, created with only 4 ingredients, all of which possess abundant health benefits.

Coconut oil is a rich antioxidant, peanut butter provides a good source of protein and ‘healthy’ monounsaturated fat, while Ceremony powder provides you with essential minerals, supports a happy, balanced mood, increases stamina and stabilises blood glucose levels.

 

Unfortunately many varieties of store bought chocolates are loaded with refined sugar and hydrogenated fats, which our bodies do not recognise and therefore cannot utilise for essential processes. These ingredients are harmful to our health.

 

When you make your own treats you know exactly what is in there and can enjoy them guilt free – the way food should be eaten.
