Cocoa Peanut Fudge Protein

Chocolate and peanut butter are a very special pair 😍 and your dreams have come true because they can be made into a nutritious dessert.

The most scrumptious healthful dessert you will see this week, made with our Organic Artisan Cocoa Protein Powder, it melts in your mouth and the texture is super fudgy and creamy.

Peanuts are an especially good source of healthful fats, protein, and fiber. They also contain plenty of potassium, phosphorous, magnesium, and B vitamins. Despite being high in calories, peanuts are nutrient-rich and low in carbohydrates so it's perfect for anyone in ketosis (keto diet).

We added our Organic Artisan Cocoa Grass-Fed Protein for this recipe because chocolate and peanut butter are a very special pair. Our Organic Artisan Cocoa Protein Powder, uses only the finest quality single origin cacao beans which have been ethically sourced and then roasted in small batches using traditional equipment and artisan methods. This allows time for the beans' inherent flavour to emerge (without depleting its nutrients, much of the cocoa out there is SOOOO heavily processed that all of its nutrients are basically killed).

Our hot tip for this recipe? Use high quality, natural ingredients and you can’t go wrong. The less artificial chemicals the better (don't buy the peanut butter with "colouring #214562"...who even knows what that is?!).
