This tasty Organic Chocolate Therapy recipe is the perfect energy boost when you are craving sweets. Keep some in the refrigerator at all times — and when the chocolate cravings come, you’ll have an amazingly healthy, life-giving snack. Consider the benefits in this recipe (all rewards, no compromises):
- antioxidants from chocolate
- brain preserving power from coconut oil
- allergy protection from honey
- and healing benefits from essential oils
I love that this recipe is sweetened with honey. It is such a life giving food — and it is the one sweetener that is stamped with God’s full approval (in moderation). If you have an aversion to honey — or are a strict vegan — you could easily substitute maple syrup.
Adding essential oils is optional. Consider lavender for a calming effect or peppermint for flavor. Other options: orange, lemon, cardamom, ginger, or even rosemary. I will add these to the cost analysis, but will not tabulate them into the figures. Some of the essential oils that I am linking to are not certified organic — but they are organic in practice. I always try to link to products with the best quality and price. When the best prices are from a brick and mortar store — I will let you know (but I can’t always link to the product).
