I added some salt to the tops of mine, but that is totally an optional ingredient. Not needed, but nice if you like that sweet/salty combo. These truffles pack a punch of chocolaty flavor. There is chocolate in the inside, and outside. My chocolate loving husband gave these a thumbs up. I hope you enjoy them too.

Toasted Coconut Vanilla Smoothie

I share a lot of smoothie recipes on this site. However, I have never shared a healthy dessert smoothie. That is until now. Today I am sharing this delish and decadent Toasted Coconut Vanilla Smoothie. Toasted coconut automatically makes everything better in my opinion! This indulgent smoothie recipe makes the perfect sweet treat. If you also like toasted coconut, you may also want to try my flourless toasted coconut cookies.

This recipe makes 2 servings, so you can half it for a single serving. This dessert smoothie is vegan, gluten free and paleo friendly. It also contains zero processed sugar. I used dates to sweeten this. The toasted coconut and banana also adds a nice sweet flavor.

Peanut Butter Bars (Vegan and Gluten Free)

Peanut Butter Bars. If you have been following this blog for a while, you know how much I love nut butters. I even wrote a whole cookbook about them!

If you love nut butter too, you will LOVE these peanut butter vegan bars. They contain very little added sugar and only 5 ingredients. You don’t even need a food processor or mixer to make them!

These bars are vegan and gluten free. You can make them with sunflower butter or almond butter to keep them paleo friendly as well.

These Peanut Butter Bars are super rich too. All you need is a little to satisfy your sweet tooth. If you didn’t want to use chocolate chips, you can always use my 3 ingredient chocolate bar recipe for the chocolate part.

If you choose that route, I would suggest keeping the bars in the freezer, not the fridge. If you also love peanut butter, you will also love my 3 ingredient peanut butter muffins and my 3 ingredient peanut butter cookies.

Chocolate Pistachio Mousse. Let’s face it. Sometimes you need a little chocolate. That is where this Healthy Chocolate Mousse Recipe comes in.

It’s rich, creamy and satisfying. It only takes a little to satisfy you. You can whip it up in minutes too. If you love chocolate, you should also try my homemade chocolate bars or my chocolate flourless muffins.

This healthier mousse recipe contains zero refined sugar and takes minutes to make. It’s also vegan, dairy free and gluten free.

If you wanted to use another nut, I think you could. I could see hazelnuts being a nice addition too.
