Nothing fancy today, folks - just simple deliciousness. Raw chocolate almond butter cups with four ingredients? Gimme! I don't think I'll ever get tired of these, and believe me - I would know. I've eaten quite a number in my life thus far. As a bonus, this is one of those recipes that every kind of person can enjoy, not just vegans or raw food lovers. If you give them to your carnivorous, junk food-worshiping brother, I guarantee he won't even know they're healthy. My guarantee comes from personal experience.
So... how ARE you, anyway!? Is your summer turning out to be everything you hoped it would? As it winds up, I can't help but feel pretty great about myself and what I've accomplished in the past three months. If someone had told me that over the sunny season I was going to write a book and be nominated for the VegNews Veggie Awards (please vote! hehe)... I would have laughed and asked them to pinch me.


Enough about me though. I know what you came here for. RAW CHOCOLATE ALMOND BUTTAH CUPS. Yeeeah, maan. These guys are everything you want them to be and more, and on top of all that they are actually super good for you... in moderation *cough cough*! I'd say two or three is a decent single serving size? But I'm not one to count calories or anything else. I do what I feel and eat what makes me feel good. These make me feel like I'm flying!

I recommend you try out a raw cacao-based super food blend called Jump Up and Go Go instead of regular cacao powder. My new super cool friend Vanessa (who has an awesome blog of her own) gave me a bag of it to try out. I used it all up in no time! It's basically like cacao, but better. The powder blend includes powerful healing ingredients like maca, wheatgrass, chaga mushrooms, hemp, noni, goji berries and more! Use it just like you would cacao powder for an extra nutrition boost. I feel amazing after having it. And (hopefully this isn't too much information) I'm on my period right now so all the extra iron, etc. helps me to feel balanced.
