Ok, this sweet tooth is killing me! I've been super creative so I don't go off and eat a whole pound of chocolate. Anyone else ever get this way? 

I decided to make a high protein treat that is super healthy!!!

Ingredients:

1 scoop chocolate protein powder

Coconut milk (how much depends on thickness)

1 tbsp almond butter ( or another nut butter)

1-2 packets stevia 

2 cupcake foils 

1. In a bowl combine protein powder with a little bit of milk. Then slowly add more milk to get the protein smooth(not chunks). Make sure to not make it "runny"

2. Pour 1/4 mixture in to cupcake foil, and 1/4 in other.

3. Place in freezer.

4. While those are freezing, in a small bowl mix almond butter and stevia.

5. Take foils out of freezer, and top with almond butter mixture.

6. Then add on top the remains of the chocolate mixture(1/4 of mixture on each).

7. Freeze for an hour, then enjoy!

Thea's Raw Creamy Coconut Mango "Ice Cream"

I made a yummy ice cream last weekend, and it was a slam dunk! I wanted to try something refreshing and fruity this time around, and I am even more impressed with the outcome! I was excited to see the abundance of fresh mango and coconut at the market this week, so why not make another recipe using the two! This is absolutely delicious!

Ingredients:
1 Organic Mango
1 Organic Coconut (just need the meat, so drink the water or bottle it for a later use)
1 handful of organic raw unsalted cashews
1- 1 1/2 c. Organic Unsweetened almond milk
2-3 packets organic stevia

1. In a blender blend together coconut meat, mango, and almond milk.
2. Add stevia and cashews.
3. Blend until smooth, then pour in to plastic container with lid.
4. Freeze for a few hours.
5. Stir, then freeze again for 30-45 min.
6. Scoop then serve.
