Raw Chocolate Mint Slice

Superhero dessert

You can have abs and have your dessert too! Especially a healthy high protein dessert that is also dairy free, sugar free, gluten free and low in carbs. Made mostly with pre-soaked nuts of almonds and cashew, and sweetened mostly by dates and maple syrup. It also has spirulina, which adds the fresh green colour to the dessert while packing it with antioxidants and B-vitamins. The chocolate contrasts really well with the mint, making it a decadent yet refreshing protein bar – great for pre or post workout snack.

Hmm. I want a bite please!

Darren @crazedmonkey.db, our abs-licious superhero weakens at the sight of dessert so this is a perfect recipe for him as he can have many slices without feeling the guilt, not that he would need to worry about calories anyway! So I removed his cape and equipped him with a food processor and true to his super powers, he whipped up the Raw Chocolate Mint Slice in a jiffy! Best of all, these dessert requires no baking. Just space in your fridge or freezer! Try it today!

Pretty delicious. Dairy free? Really.
