Healthy Paleo / Raw Vegan Chocolate bar ( only 3 ingredients!! )

Today I am going to share with you on how to make your own chocolate bar, with healthy ingredients. Chocolates have always been my best friend. I guess chocolates are indeed every girl's best friend. Food allergy are on the rise these days that including to dairy, gluten, soy and as well to additives in most products from the supermarkets. Chocolates are one of the many items that most people or even children who have allergy, cant have them anymore due to their dairy content and as well as other additives and oil in the chocolates. Even if u manage to find a chocolate bar that is allergy free its often too pricey and contains too much sugar in it. Any one can make anything tasty by adding refined sugar in it. Imagine feeding your kids store bought sugar filled chocolates. No wonder obesity in children are increasing at an alarming rate nowadays. My chocolates is made only with 3 ingredients....Its so easy to make and it uses ingredients that you have readily available all the time in your kitchen cabinet. The main ingredient in this chocolate bar recipe is unsweetened Cocoa powder. Cocoa powder are a rich source of minerals such as iron, magnesium and zinc. They are also high in antioxidants that help prevents inflammation in the body. Our next ingredient for the chocolate bar is coconut oil. The benefit of coconut oil to the body is never ending. Its high in medium chain triglycerides which is good for the brain to function. It increases your energy level and aids in weight loss. Lauric acid in the coconut oil can help kill harmful pathogen such as fungus, bacteria or even virus. Coconut oil have the ability to reduce your appetite, improving the blood cholesterol levels and reduce heart disease risk. Enough said on the coconut oil, now lets talk about the third and final ingredient, that is raw honey. Raw honey has a high anti-bacterial property. It can be used both topically or orally to fight inflammation in the body. For those of you, who have allergy with Cocoa powder, you can substitute this with carob powder. If you have problem using honey, then you can substitute it with maple syrup or any sweetener of your choice. Now lets get started on the recipe....

You can add your choice of topping such as nuts or dried fruits just to add more crunch





 You will need:-
  1. 1 cup melted coconut oil
  2. 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  3. 1/2 cup raw honey
  4. chocolate moulder or just a small baking dish lined with parchment paper.
Method:-
  • Mix coconut oil, honey and cocoa powder well
  • pour the mixture to your chocolate moulder or to your lined baking dish.
  • Add your desired toppings such as nuts or dried fruits (optional) 
  • Place it in fridge for 30 mins till it is all set and hard. 
  • Indulge and enjoy every bite.
p/s:- Its so easy to over indulge. Mindful eating plays an important role here. A small size a day goes a long way.

Bread is my staple for breakfast. I can't imagine living without bread. This bread recipe which I am going to share with you, have really helped my transitioning into paleo lifestyle. I have at the beginning baked quite a number of paleo breads and I must be honest with you... the bread just taste horrible. I could barely swallow it. But I never gave up on my quest for creating the perfect paleo based bread that will suit my taste. Rule no.1 when you are tasting a paleo bread, is that you must forget the taste of the normal gluten and yeast filled bread. You must be prepared to accept a different tasting bread. A bread that will still taste good, look like a bread, fits as bread but not the same as the traditional bread. Once you are ready to accept these conditions, then you are now allowed to continue reading this post. After baking a few breads without success, I am so glad that I have managed with time and experience creating a good flax bread. Baking gluten free and t...

I feel so blessed that I was exposed to Paleo. It saved my life and it has saved the life of many other people. Food should be our medicine but unfortunately our food nowadays it is filled with chemical and ingredients that does more harm than anything else. In Paleo lifestyle, its all about being a chef in your own kitchen. Eating more at home than eating out. Controlling what goes into your body. You can still eat cakes and yummy desserts provided its made with healthy ingredients. For me coconut flour is the Holy Grail of all the flours. Its so sacred and soothes my soul with its natural exotic flavour and sweetness. It is low carb and high in healthy fats which our body needs for the well function of our brain and hormones. It is also higher in fiber and protein when compared to wheat flour. It is a better option than nut flour due to the Omega 6 PUFA contains in the nut or seed flour. Buying coconut flour can be hard due to its availability. I have not till now fou...
