Something weird has been happening to my body lately and it’s called not being able to have an ounce of white sugar without feeling so sick! Anyone else have this issue pregnant? I wasn’t like this with Oaks at all. It’s like this baby girl is really making me work super hard for her to get here! But really, I’ve had to figure out how to get sweet things without the processed sugar, I mean, thats a great problem to have right?! So it’s forced me to get super creative which is also very good. Things are just happening for a purpose over here 🙂

So this recipe is sugar free, as in no white processed sugar, dairy free and all around vegan!

I can have all the real sugars, thank god! But still very balanced. So things like honey, coconut sugar, fruit, agave etc. So I created this dairy free hot cocoa! It’s so delicious! I don’t even miss the processed sugar.

YOU NEED…

1 TBSP Enjoy life Chocolate Chips
1 Cup unsweetened Almond Milk
1 Tbsp Better Body Foods Raw Cacao
1/2 Tbsp Raw Honey
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Tbsp Coco Whip For the topping (btw this is a pack of 12) you can buy this in stores at Sprouts, but I haven’t seen it anywhere else. I bet Whole Foods would have it.

DIRECTIONS

Add everything to a pot besides the whip and bring to medium heat. Stir, stir stir! Keep stirring around until mixed up and chocolate is melted. Once its melted, hot and mixed up, then remove and pour into a cup. Top with Coco Whip if you would like! Makes it that much better!

YOU GUYS, do you use BFF (Better Body Foods) Avocado oil?? Its unrefined, nothing added, all organic. SO PURE. You need to make this your new BFF! I use this oil literally on everything. All my salads with a little lemon, everything I bake, including the recipes I’m about to share, cookies, potatoes etc.. the list goes on. I posted HOW I BAKE MY VEGGIES with this oil, so check that out!

Onto the recipe, guys this recipe is SO beyond perfect to add to your Thanksgiving feast this week and it’s ridiculously easy, with only 4 ingredients! I made this for TJ and I a couple weeks ago, and we have it as a veggie side for dinner A LOT.

WHAT YOU NEED (serves 2)

Cranberry Goat Cheese You can buy at Costco too
15-20 Brussel Sprouts
Better Body Foods Avocado Oil
Coconut Aminos

DIRECTIONS

Heat up your oven to 425.
Wash and cut bottoms off of the brussels sprouts, then cut in half.
Place brussels sprouts in a larger bowl, Drizzle on avocado oil and coconut aminos, I honestly don’t measure, I just pour it on! Enough to cover all of the brussels sprouts evenly.
Place the mixture onto a pan and salt & pepper.
Once oven is heated, set them in the oven to cook for 20-25 mins.
When they looked soft and cooked, and a tiny bit crispy take them out. Put them back in the bowl and crumble 2oz of the cranberry goat cheese on.
Then dish up and enjoy!

I’d love to know who make these for Thanksgiving! Please share if you do, and tag me & I’ll repost!
