So, you’re at a holiday party and you just spotted a plate of chocolate goodness from across the room…it’s none other than fudge…refined fudge that is. You reach over, but pause as the guilt consumes you. If you’re interested in avoiding this from happening to anyone at your holiday get-together then this recipe is just for you! Yes, that’s right guilt-free healthy plant-based fudge. It’s sure to please everyone…even those that are health conscious.
Ahhh, the holidays without any guilt or deprivation….now that’s a celebration!
Quick Health Tip: Even though “Superfoods” don’t really have an official definition, the term is commonly used to refer to foods that are high in nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. Please keep in mind however that whole, intact plant foods can ALL be considered superfoods, each with varying degrees of nutrients and polyphenols. Perhaps you cannot always splurge on a bag of wild medicinal mushroom power or chlorella, but that doesn’t mean you cannot fill your cart up with a rainbow of vegetables including red cabbage, kale, broccoli and sprouts!
