I don’t use coconut sugar, so I had to do some experimenting to use with honey. I used raw honey to sweeten and it is a delicious combination of three simple ingredients -cocoa powder, coconut oil, and honey! Whip it up in your blender and solidify in the fridge, and you are set!
1 cup cocoa powder 1 cup coconut oil, divided (virgin unrefined coconut oil is recommended for its nutritional value), palm oil or butter 3/4 cup honey (raw honey is recommended again for its nutritional value) Gently melt half of the coconut oil in a small saucepan. Note: I found that if I melted all the coconut oil, the final result was a very stretchy, wet fudge. Detox Smoothie « Drinks. Yep, that’s a healthy green smoothie?

These Frozen Cherry Mojitos are the perfect way to kick back and enjoy the weather while beating the heat! Over the weekend I picked up a huge bag of Bing cherries from the market. Although they weren’t exactly cheap, I am a sucker for fresh cherries and decided to fork over the extra cash. Throughout the day, I ate cherry after cherry after cherry.
Although I adore their flavor, I think my love affair with this fruit also has to do with the pit.
