How to Keep Your Body Slim All Year Round/Tips to loss weight and be enthusiastic at all seasons

If you have a sweet tooth like me, I'm sure you've tried to find ways to still enjoy sweet treats, but also try to make them healthier than typical trash food desserts.

The big problem with most so-called "healthy" desserts is that most companies try to make them healthier by reducing the fat content and thereby boosting the sugar content or artificial sweeteners... there's nothing healthy about either of those!

Below is my #healthy chocolate-peanut-butter #fudge recipe that takes only 5 minutes to prepare and is really simple. The great thing is that it uses no added sugars, no artificial sweeteners, and all healthy fat sources. You'll see why below.

Healthy chocolate-peanut-butter fudge recipe (peanut butter can be substitute if you prefer- by plain chocolate):

Extra dark chocolate bar (3-4 oz bar works well -- look for at least 70% cocoa content, between 70-85% -- this minimizes the sugar content)
4 or 5 Tbsp of your favorite organic nut butter (almond butter, cashew butter, peanut butter all work well)
2/3 to 3/4 cup of organic coconut milk (great source of healthy saturated fats from medium chain triglycerides - MCTs)
2 tbsp rice bran (additional healthy fiber source)
2 tbsp oat bran (more healthy fiber including soluble fiber)
1/2 cup raw pecans, almonds, or walnuts (yes, more healthy fats, antioxidants, and tons of vitamins/minerals)
1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins (optional based on your tastes)
1 tsp vanilla extract
a little stevia or honey to lightly sweeten

Start mixing the coconut milk, nut butter, and chocolate bar in a medium saucepan and put it on the lowest heat possible. Continuously stir as the chocolate, coconut milk, and nut butter melts together. Once these melt together add in all of the other ingredients and stir together very well.

Once everything is mixed very well together, spread the mixture onto some waxed paper laid out in a baking dish and put it in the fridge to solidify.

Feel free to use your imagination adding nuts or almonds on the top for decoring and making it even more fun.

Now you have some of the healthiest chocolate fudge ever known!

Keep in mind that you still need to make your serving portions small because this is still a calorie-dense snack even though it is super-healthy. The good news is that it is lower in sugar and calories than any typical fudge and has lots more nutrition than any typical fudge.

Enjoy!

Good luck with your #weightloss goals!
