Healthy Homemade Chocolate Almond Spread! Super easy!

I wished I had have come up with this one sooner!

It’s such an easy and indulgent chocolate flavoured nut butter, and a fantastic substitute to commercial spreads, conveniently targeted at children.

You won’t experience an insulin high with this one, nor the cravings an hour later – unless of course you have a bit of a sugar addiction and are still weening your gut bacteria off of the sweet stuff!

This delicious homemade chocolate almond spread is a great raw food treat that doesn’t require any cooking whatsoever – just a glass jar to mix everything in with a spoon, and a separate jar for storing.

You can swap the almond butter for cashew or brazil – completely up to you.

The kids will love this nutty-chocolatey combo!

And no doubt, so will you!

Enjoy!
