Irresistibly Easy No-Sugar “Nutella” Fudge (Vegan)

March 28, 2017 By elviira 8 Comments

Well, hello, all Nutella lovers! That hazelnutty, chocolatey and sublimely silky spread has millions of fans all over the world. Whole generations have been growing up on Nutella – my husband for example!

Unfortunately, as we know, this popular spread has unhealthy ingredients that are an absolute no-no on a healthy sugar-free low-carb diet. As that baddie — sugar — is the main ingredient, the carb count becomes intolerably high. And when you add all that fat (Nutella contains an ample amount of palm oil), the combination of carbs and fat is pretty toxic. Even the manufacturer claims the palm oil is not hydrogenated; all that sugar is a very legitimate reason to skip the spread if you are concerned with your health — or the health of your loved ones. There is simply no reason to feed any kid Nutella, especially when preparing healthier, better-tasting options is so unbelievably easy!

And now, it’s time to present my newest creation: Irresistibly Easy No-Sugar “Nutella” Fudge.

Also, the ice cream is easy to make. Just blend everything in a blender, let churn in an ice cream maker, and dig in! You can naturally serve this frozen treat year around; it makes a perfect summertime treat, too!

The best thing is, you can indulge liberally with this ice cream: it’s sugar-free, ketogenic, and super nutritious. It’s also an excellent way to add natural, healthy fats to your diet and makes a great fat bomb! What a perfect way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!

Simple Beef Bone Broth Recipe

September 29, 2016 By elviira 11 Comments

Here’s my simple take on one of my favorite superfoods, bone broth. It’s made from beef bones and jam-packed with many nutrients that help improve digestive and joint health.

There are many ways to include bone broth into your diet, but I prefer to drink it straight out of mug, piping hot, seasoned with an ample amount of unrefined sea salt. You could also use it as a soup base, or add it to any recipe that needs a little extra flavor or moisture.
