I found this recipe that has no eggs, no dairy, and no flour. It is not your typical cupcake but the taste is super rich and tasty!! This is sure worth giving a try this weekend!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Chocolate Base:</b><br />
1 cup Raw Cacao Powder<br />
1 cup melted Raw Cacao Butter<br />
1/3 cup preferred Liquid Sweetener (I used raw agave nectar)<br />
1 tablespoon Vanilla Bean Powder<br />
<br />
<b>Cashew Cream:</b><br />
1 cup Raw Cashews, soaked for 4 hours<br />
½ cup Coconut Oil<br />
½ cup Filtered Water<br />
1/4 cup coconut nectar or agave<br />
1 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Powder<br />
Dash of Himalayan salt<br />
<br />
<b>Chocolate Base:</b><br />
Melt the raw cacao butter double boiler method.<br />
Combine cacao powder, sweetener and vanilla bean powder in a bowl.<br />
Add the melted cacao butter and whisk until smooth.<br />
Pour chocolate mixture into a funnel or measuring cup and pour into a silicone cupcake mold about 1/2 full.<br />
Place mold into the freezer for 1/2 hour to set.<br />
<br />
<b>Cashew Cream:</b><br />
Rinse cashews well, and combine all ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth.<br />
Remove silicone mold from the freezer and pour the cashew cream on top of the set chocolate filling each one full.<br />
Place mold back in freezer overnight or for 4 hours.<br />
Remove from freezer 1/2 hour before serving.<br />

<span style="line-height: 1.4em;">In its raw state, chocolate has more than 300 nutritional compounds and is one of the richest sources of antioxidants of any food on the planet!</span></div>

<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Minimally processed raw chocolate contains many vital vitamins and minerals such as:<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /> </strong></div>

Because white / processed sugar depletes the body of vital nutrients including magnesium, Vitamin C and B vitamins that are necessary for energy, hormones and weight loss, our <a href="http://chocchick.com/categories/Buy-CHOC/Raw-Chocolate-Making-Kits/" style="color: #6b2a0a; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank" title="raw chocolate making kits">raw chocolate making kits</a> include <a href="http://chocchick.com/products/Sweet-Freedom-Mild.html" style="color: #6b2a0a; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank" title="Low GL natural sweetener">Sweet Freedom</a>, a low-glycaemic sweetener, to sweeten your raw chocs naturally and will not deplete your body of vital nutrients</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6b2a0a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.75em 0px;">
The nutrients found in raw chocolate have been linked to a number of health benefits and has been known to:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6b2a0a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.75em 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />1) Lower blood pressure & improve circulation</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6b2a0a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.75em 0px;">
Flavanols, theobromine, and other components found in cacao may lower blood pressure and enhance circulation by promoting dilation, strength, and health of blood vessels</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6b2a0a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.75em 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />2) Promotes cardiovascular function & health</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6b2a0a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.75em 0px;">
The antioxidant power of flavonoids and essential minerals and vitamins found in cacao can support healthy heart functioning by lowering blood pressure, improving blood flow, lowering LDL cholesterol, and reducing plaque buildup on artery walls.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6b2a0a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.75em 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />3) Neutralizes free radicals</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6b2a0a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.75em 0px;">
High levels of antioxidants protect the body from a buildup of free radicals from sun exposure, pollution, cigarette smoking, etc., which may damage healthy body tissue giving rise to cancer and cardiovascular disease. Our bodies need antioxidants to 'mop up' free radicals that can damage our cells. Scientists from Cornell University recently discovered that raw cacao powder contains nearly twice the antioxidants of red wine, and up to three times the antioxidants found in green tea.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6b2a0a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.75em 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />4)Raw Chocolate can improve digestion</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6b2a0a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.75em 0px;">
A sufficient amount of fiber delivered with each serving of cacao supports digestion while cacao stimulates the body’s production of digestive enzymes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6b2a0a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.75em 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />5) Raw chocolate can enhance physical and mental well-being</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6b2a0a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.75em 0px;">
There are many components of cacao including alkaloids, proteins, beta-carotene, leucine, linoleic, lipase, lysine, and theobromine, that all work together to improve physical and mental health. For example, theombromine helps to stimulate the central nervous system, relax smooth muscles, and dilate blood vessels, giving the body a boost of energy; “bliss” chemicals found in cacao help to increase circulation and availability of serotonin and other neurotransmitters in brain, improving mood and combating depression.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6b2a0a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.75em 0px;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; color: #6b2a0a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.25; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Other notable benefits include:</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6b2a0a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.75em 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Appetite suppressant</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6b2a0a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.75em 0px;">
Yes, that's right! Raw chocolate actually has appetite-suppressant properties and often added to weight loss products to help control hunger! Simply enjoy a couple of Raw CHOC's or add half a teaspoon of raw chocolate powder to a teacup of tepid water 10 minutes before a meal for a delicious, natural way to reduce your appetite.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6b2a0a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.75em 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Aphrodisiac</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6b2a0a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.75em 0px;">
Chocolate has long been the food for lovers and is a symbol of sensuality and sexuality. The ancient Aztecs gave chocolate as wedding presents and other South American civilizations believed that chocolate was the food of the heart. Raw chocolate from South America has to be the best chocolate aphrodisiac about!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6b2a0a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.75em 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Sense of well being</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6b2a0a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.75em 0px;">
Long considered a 'happy food', chocolate is a popular treat when we need 'cheering up', recent research has discovered that cacao contains chemicals (such as Phenylethylamine* and Serotonine) which are scientifically proven to be present in the brains of people when they are happy, more relaxed, playful and creative.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6b2a0a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.75em 0px;">
<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
*Phenylethylamine is a slight antidepressant and stimulant similar to the body's own dopamine and adrenaline.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6b2a0a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.75em 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />My personal favorite smoothie - makes great dessert too.

Three minute pumpkin mug (protein) cake

I have to share with you my new treat-secret! A treat so yummy and so healthy that you could have it everyday if you wanted to! Did I mention that it’s made in THREE minutes?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW2fAjnl0y0FAujaS726PyQyTRanzurmWQ2lWYxYLQDgqoG4-4uNZuexn4t-I0SiOt84PlLT4cQOoziHw58KR-QghrZVXBbbFCyQ97U1EwtHEFwtZObkG1NakrB5OHI0B0F8Va4qJfYVnv/s1600/pumpkinproteinmugcake.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW2fAjnl0y0FAujaS726PyQyTRanzurmWQ2lWYxYLQDgqoG4-4uNZuexn4t-I0SiOt84PlLT4cQOoziHw58KR-QghrZVXBbbFCyQ97U1EwtHEFwtZObkG1NakrB5OHI0B0F8Va4qJfYVnv/s320/pumpkinproteinmugcake.jpg" width="296" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
I don’t know about you, but there have been plenty of times when I get hungry and I devour anything that is readily available, it doesn’t matter what it is. This happens to me frequently, specially when I skip a meal and don’t stick to my “eat-every-2-to-3-hours” rule. I love fall... pumpkins and honey crisp apples! Yummmy! So this mug cake creation incorporates pumpkin now that we are starting to embark on that time of year! <br />
<br />
Pumpkin has amazing health benefits as well! Pumpkin is low in fat and calories and rich in disease-fighting nutrients such as:<br />
Alpha-carotene, Beta-carotene, Fiber, Vitamins C and E, Potassium, and Magnesium. Pumpkin is an excellent source of fiber; one-half cup serving contains 5 grams of fiber. Fiber helps reduce bad cholesterol levels, protect the body against heart disease, control blood sugar levels, promote healthy digestion, and plays a role in weight loss. <br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<ul class="check"><li>       1 egg white (actual egg, not from the carton)</li>
<li>       1 scoop vanilla whey protein</li>
<li>       1/4 cup organic raw pumpkin</li>
<li>       1/8 cup unsweetened almond milk</li>
<li>       ¼ teaspoon baking powder</li>
<li>       ¼ teaspoon cinnamon</li>
<li>       1 tablespoon Natural Peanut Butter</li>
</ul><br />

<ol><ol><li>Place all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, using your whisker, mix them together (whey protein powder, baking powder and cinnamon).</li>
<li>Place all wet ingredients in a mixing bowl, using your spatula, mix them together (raw pumpkin and eggs).</li>
<li>Combine wet and dry ingredients.</li>
<li>Place mixture in your 16oz coffee cup.</li>
<li>Place in the microwave and heat up for 3 minutes.</li>
<li>Take out your small cake from your coffee cup and place on your small plate.</li>
<li>Cut your cake in half, add Natural Peanut Butter between the layers and assemble the layers back on top of each other (see pictures below). Voila! Now, you’ve got yourself a fun layered 3 minute protein cake!</li>

Clean Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge

<span style="font-size: large;">I have a slight obsession with Chocolate! Okay major weak in the knees, have to keep it out of the house kind of obsession! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">I like to make treats for my hubby and kids that I know they will enjoy but, will also be good for them. I found this chocolate peanut butter fudge recipe that is made with all clean ingredients. Only, 4 to be exact! I made these on Friday for my family and they were a big hit! </span></span><i><b>It’s full of healthy, nourishing ingredients that I feel good about eating and serving my family.</b></i> Coconut oil (which is the base of this fudge) is one of the healthiest  fats there is. Enjoy this wonderful treat and know that it is  actually good for you!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><i><b>Chocolate – peanut butter</b></i> is one of my absolute<i><b> favorite</b></i>  flavor combinations, so, of course, I LOVE this fudge.  I also LOVE  anything coconut, and the coconut oil gives it just a slight coconut  flavor, which I find to be wonderful!  It couldn’t be any easier to  make.  <i><b>There is no cooking involved, and (not counting the chilling time) it takes less than five minutes to make.</b></i> Now that’s my kind of recipe!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: large;">Clean Eating does not have to be boring or unflavorful! In fact, the food is quite enjoyable! </span><br />
