These little cocoa-peanut butter bites are a great snack. Stored in the freezer, you can grab one anytime you feel like it. And the great thing is that they are naturally sweet, with no added sugar or sweeteners. For a special touch, roll them in finely shredded unsweetened coconut before freezing.

Cocoa-Coated Almonds *

Long ago I used to love the Emerald Cocoa Roasted Almonds, but cannot eat them anymore as they are not soaked and they contain Splenda (sucralose). I experimented a little and came up with this recipe that uses raw almonds (that are soaked & dried) and stevia powder to sweeten. So they are healing diet approved, meaning you can have them even if you are on a sugar restricted diet (which most of us should try to avoid sugar anyway). These cocoa almonds are so delicious and good for you and make an excellent snack, or addition to homemade trail mix.

Hot cocoa is a favorite old-fashioned drink that everyone enjoys. This version is creamy, chocolaty, and good for you…especially if you go light on the sweetener
And this recipe is healing diet approved when using stevia as the only sweetener.
