Cocoa Leaf Greens Coconut Fudge

Cocoa Leaf Greens Coconut Fudge

Published August 15, 2013

This is a great way to get coconut oil daily, good for your brain AND also get your fabulously nutritious CocoaLeaf Greens which gives you 4 pounds of greens in one serving!   You can sneak these nutritious greens into this nutritious candy and anyone who disdains healthy eating won’t know the difference….think hubby, kids and mom.

It tastes like the coconut candies you get in the assorted boxes of chocolates or a really good mounds bar. I prefer using crunchy almond butter for this one. The raw chocolate makes it out of this world but if you don’t have that or need to save $$ use a good organic cocoa.

SUPER IMPORTANT!

To protect the fragile enzymes in the Cocoa Leaf Greens be sure and add after the oil/almond butter mixture has cooled significantly (it should feel cooler than your body temp).  You don’t have to boil this mixture, just heat it enough to be able to blend well.  Coconut oil melts at room temp so first put in the almond butter, allow it to soften, then add the coconut oil, mix well and keep on heat just until it is all blended.

Nutrition Facts
1/20th of recipe is a serving unless you have memory problems – then enjoy 3-9 servings a day but take the calories and fat into account.  Large amounts of coconut oil are known to restore memory.  Many of my clients over 65 enjoy three pieces a day.  Coconut oil will not raise your cholesterol if you are using unrefined extra virgin coconut oil.
