Do you ever want a sweet fudge treat, but are Vegan, DF, GF and any other number of letters, free? Not sure about you, but I find there are so few things I can eat now, that I crave them all the more, grrr:-/ So, since I have a craving, and refuse to give up eating yummy food entirely, I decided to create something amazing I could eat, and once I did I wanted to share it with all of you. So here it is folks, an uber delish Vegan Shakeology Almond Joy Fudge, GF and DF. Rich and fudgey, with bites of almond and coconut flakes, it really hits the sweet spot, but packs a round house punch of nutrition and healthy fats.
This recipe is perfect for those who want to lose weight, but battle the sweet tooth monster, or for those trying out Shakeology and maybe have not learned to love the flavor. Also great for those of us with super small kids who could use a little more nutrition squeezed into them. This is a completely whole foods recipe, nearly Paleo if you remove the extract, but also very versatile. Don’t like almond butter(or the cost of almond butter!) use peanut butter instead. Don’t like or have maple syrup, use honey, see, totally flexible, and still totally delish!
With only 10 minutes from start to finish, plus chilling time, you can easily whip this up before your next PiYo workout(go Hubby!!) and this Vegan Shakeology Almond Joy Fudge, Gf and DF it will be ready and waiting for you as a post-workout pick me up!!
Enjoy!!
