Stop what you’re doing. Make this now. Thank me later.
Too demanding? It’s worth it.
This stuff should be illegal, it’s so good. Not to mention it’s simplicity. Raw food for dummies, people!
If you’re new to the raw food world, and this happens to be the first raw recipe you make, you’ll be hooked.
Move over cookie dough… there’s a new guy in town.
This time it’s healthy, and dare I say… tastier.
Sprinkle this on your thick and creamy smoothie bowl or banana ice cream… or you could even top your Jules Fuel with some of this sweetness!
Are mornings allowed to taste this good????
Yes. Yes they are.
This recipe is inspired by Loni Jane (thank you girl!)
