Chocolate Raspberry Bombs – Gluten and Guilt FREE!

This simple dessert is not only delicious but also guilt-fee! Every time I make something sweet I always make sure to add fats. Why? Because the presence of fats will help prevent sudden spikes in blood sugar levels, avoiding sugar crashes and altering your hormones. This also applies when eating fruits, whenever you are eating an apple or whatever fruit of your choice make sure to eat it together with nuts, nut butter, coconut butter or a piece of raw cheese.

Alright amazing person on the other side of the screen! That’s the healthy tip of the day. Let’s move on to this simple recipe that will for sure thrill your tastebuds! Enjoy!
