Healthy recipes for a sweet treat.

Here are a couple of recipes for some healthy sweet treats

Chocolate Satin

2 avocados
2 Tbs. coconut cream concentrate
1/4 c. cacao powder
1 Tbs. vanilla
1/2 to 3/4 c. agave nectar or honey
1 pinch sea salt

Combine all ingredients in a blender and pulse until smooth. Serve as a fruit dip or just enjoy it plain. (You can find inexpensive coconut cream concentrate at your local Asian market. I prefer honey added to taste instead of agave nectar.)


Here is a recipe from Laura at Heavenly Homemakers

Peanut Butter Raisin Balls

1 cup natural peanut butter (with salt), smooth or chunky
2 Tbs. to 1/3 cup honey (to taste)
2/3 cup raisins
2 tsp. carob powder or cocoa powder (optional)
big pinch of cinnamon (optional)
1/2 to 2/3 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut (divided) (You can substitute another form of coconut here, but it won’t be the same-this stuff should add a nice texture and crunch)

Mix together peanut butter, honey, cocoa and cinnamon. Fold in 1/3 of the coconut and all of the raisins. Chill thoroughly. Roll the mix into little balls. Roll the balls in the remaining coconut. You may need to roll them twice and press the coconut in a little. Cover them with plastic wrap or put them in a ziplock bag and serve them well chilled.
