1 Minute 1 Step RV Chocolate Fudge

chocolate fudgeSo delicious! This completely raw vegan chocolate fudge can be made in under a minute! (depending really on how fast you move hehe)
I find myself always having late night cravings for something sweet and smooth. What has that texture and enraptures my taste buds like so? You got it - chocolate. Even better, dark chocolate. That smooth consistency that literally just lightens up my face can be made so easily and it is healthy too!
Imagine yourself watching a movie, variety show, or an episode of your favorite series at night and you just feel like snacking on something sweet. Or perhaps you're looking at photos of food and recipes such as this one, well then problem solved - the 1 minute chocolate fudge in 1 step!
Recipe:
You'll need:
  • 3 tablespoons of Raw Cacao Powder
  • 2 teaspoons of Agave Nectar or Raw Honey (but that wouldn't be vegan)
  • 2 teaspoons of Coconut Oil (I prefer to use the unrefined one)
Directions:
  1. Just mix all of the ingredients together!
  • Note that it will seem dry at first and you'll have the urge to add more oil or water or something, but don't. Just keep mixing and it'll soon have a creamy texture. The color will turn darker and it will become smoother and moist.
Note:
- Feel free to double the ingredients amounts to have more and to wrap it in parchment paper or wax paper and pop it in the fridge or freezer. Then it will harden and taste absolutely amazing!
- For a crunchy texture to it, you can add chopped almonds (or any other nut/seed) to the mixture or rolled oats if you prefer for it to have less fat.
So there we have the chocolate fudge! Tell me how it goes and enjoy~

Date-ing Fruit Smoothie

Get it? the Dates and the fruit are interacting with each other to the point of dating hehe
Okay, I know lame on the word play, but I sort of did my best hehe. If you guys have any better suggestions DEFINITELY feel free to let me know ^^
I ran out of bananas, but wanted to make a Berry smoothie. I have frozen mixed berries and personally, those can be pretty sour. I did not want to use any sugar, honey, agave nectar, or anything so I turned to dates! What's so great about Dates is that they can easily replace any sweetener! That's right, no refined sugars or additives!
Anyways, this was definitely a sweet, refreshing smoothie that I made for myself, mother (age of 60), and her student (a young girl). We all enjoyed this, so this is definitely a drink that is perfect for all ages~ Had this hydrating drink for breakfast after a HIIT workout hehe
Anyways here's the recipe:
Recipe:
You Will Need:
- A Blender
- 10 Pitted Dates (I used organic)
- 3 Handfuls of Mixed Berries (I used the frozen kind)
- 1 Cup of Almond Milk (I used Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla)
- 1/4 Cup of Water
-Makes two glasses-
Directions:
  1. Blend your Dates, Water, and Almond Milk together until it becomes this frothy, smooth drink. (This can be a drink on its own. So sweet and delicious)
  2. Add in the Berries and blend(Frappe) until it's this thick, creamy drink
  3. Pour and enjoy~
I don't have a picture this time because I was in a bit of a rush, but it basically looks like a Berry smoothie, only it has that delicious creamy sweet taste that comes from the almond milk and especially the dates.
Hope you enjoy and tell me how it goes!
