This recipe is surprisingly easy and perfectly minty. You are sure to be obsessed!

Ingredients and Benefits:

Almond flour: Use super-fine and I find it better to weigh out, however that is not necessary. It is higher in protein, fiber, and healthy fats

Cacao powder: Rich in flavonoids and minerals for anti-inflammatory benefits. You can substitute with cocoa powder if needed. I buy mine from Thrive Market for the best price and size!

Coconut oil: A healthy fat full of antioxidants and phytochemicals. It contains MCTs that are quickly absorbed in the gut, and studies have shown that it may encourage fat burning

Maple syrup: An unrefined sugar that is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants for a lower glycemic effect

Peppermint extract: For the mint flavor of course!

Chocolate: I opt for a chocolate sweetened with unrefined sugar; some I recommend are Hu chocolate, Just Date, Oobli
