Season' s Greetings

Over the past year, we’ve shared several articles about mindfulness.
This is time of year it’s more critical than any other time of year to practice mindfulness.
Being mindful will help combat stress and bring joy into your life — and the lives of others!

A fudge treat the whole family will absolutely love! This super healthy Christmas fudge uses just two natural ingredients. To top it all off - it's dairy free, has no gluten, and no added sugar!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups of coconut flakes
  • 1 medium banana
  • Optional: 2 ounces of sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Blitz the shredded coconut in a high speed blender until it reaches a butter consistency.
    Tip: Add a small dash of coconut milk or melted coconut oil to get the mixture moving if it’s a bit difficult to blend at the start.
  2. Add the banana and blitz again until nicely combined.
  3. Spoon the mixture into a small dish lined with parchment paper. Top with sprinkles if desired and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours or until the fudge has hardened.
