As a Certified nutrition Specialist, I like to find ways to get ready appetizing foods that most people can't believe are undoubtedly healthy for you. If you have a sweet tooth like me, I'm sure you've tried to find ways to still enjoy sweet treats, but also try to make them healthier than typical junk food desserts.
The major question with most so-called "healthy" desserts is that most clubs exertion to make them healthier by reducing the fat article and thereby increasing the sugar article or artificial sweeteners... There's nothing healthy about whether of those!

My healthy chocolate-peanut-butter fudge recipe (peanut butter can be omitted if you prefer plain chocolate):
- Extra dark chocolate bar (3-4 oz bar works well -- look for at least 70% cocoa content, in the middle of 70-85% -- this minimizes the sugar content)
- 4 or 5 Tbsp of your favorite organic nut butter (almond butter, cashew butter, peanut butter all work well)
- 2/3 to 3/4 cup of organic coconut milk (great source of healthy saturated fats from medium chain triglycerides - Mcts)
- 2 tbsp rice bran (additional healthy fiber source)
- 2 tbsp oat bran (more healthy fiber including soluble fiber)
- 1/2 cup raw pecans, almonds, or walnuts (yes, more healthy fats, antioxidants, and tons of vitamins/minerals)
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins (optional based on your tastes)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- a microscopic stevia to lightly sweeten (stevia is a natural non-caloric sweetener as opposed to harmful artificial sweeteners)
Start with the coconut milk, nut butter, and chocolate bar in a medium saucepan and put it on the lowest heat possible. Continuously stir as the chocolate, coconut milk, and nut butter melts together. Once these melt together add in all of the other ingredients and stir together very well.
Once everything is mixed well together, spread the mixture onto some waxed paper laid out in a baking dish and throw it in the fridge to solidify.
Now you have some of the healthiest chocolate fudge ever known to man!
Keep in mind that you still need to keep your serving portions small because this is still a calorie-dense snack even though it is super-healthy. The good news is that it is lower in sugar and fat than typical fudge and has loads more nutrition than any typical fudge.
Enjoy! Tell your friends that trainer Mike Geary gave you this recipe.
