Jungle Peanut Truffle Bar from Medicinal Foods

While everyone at work is eating standard Christmas Cookies, Boxed Chocolates, and Donuts from a local grocery store - I decided to bust out the Jungle Peanut Truffle Bar that I got from Medicinal Foods!  Sooooo glad I did!  It's better than a Peanut Butter Cup because it's loaded with pure, raw, vegan, organic, superfoods!  The little nugget I am feasting on right now is 1 ounce and I will tell you it's all I can eat!  It's extremely filling and packed with powerful flavors!  It has that nice dark chocolate flavor you are looking for paired with a sweet hint and even a speck of saltiness...just enough to say...OH...what's that!?  I absolutely LOVE this!

When it says Mood Enhancing on the label I can totally see why!  I was smiling from the moment I tried it but the happiness isn't only skin deep - it shoots throughout your body - inside and out!

Arriba Nacional Cacao Paste, Cacao Butter, Medicinal Food’s “Shaman’s Blend”: Mesquite, Lucuma, Maca, Mucuna, Spirulina, Chlorella, Ashwaganda, Hemp Protein Reishi and Cordyceps Micronized Mycelium,  Ecuadorian Raw Evaporated Mineral-Rich Cane-Juice, Vanilla and Himalayan Salt. and Loving Healing Mantras.

Recipes FOR Medicinal Foods

I woke up to some exciting news!  I was featured in Medicinal Foods Newsletter!  I submitted a few of my recipes to Sky over at Medicinal Foods - tweaking them - and including their Cacao Elixir!  In the feature I will be writing about some of their products here on my blog but in the meantime be sure to subscribe to their newsletter over at their site.  I hope to submit more recipes in the near future.  Another FUN thing is that Sky has been using some of the recipes I send him on his Instagram.  Be sure to check that out, too! 

Vegan MoFo ~ Vegan Findings

I had a late post yesterday and it explains a few things that will be happening over the next few weeks so be sure to check that out!  Today I have a few things I want to post including a GIVEAWAY later today so be sure to check back!  First I wanted to post a few things that I have found pretty AMAZING the last week or so and thought I would post it as a part of my Vegan MoFo stuff!  First up this WONDERFUL Jem Organic Raw Chocolate Superberry Maqui Camu Sprouted Almond Butter.  I can't say enough about this and I got it over at The Raw Food World.  Check out the first clickable banner on my sidebar and it will take you to their site.  It's rich, it's the perfect pouring or dipping thickness, and it delicious.  The berry notes are at just the right level of flavor without being too over powering.  Since I don't have dessert foods ofter - because I'm not a baker - and I can't find anyone who is a vegan baker locally - I grab things like this when I have a sweet tooth.  Oh!!!!  And what are those grapes there?  Why...they are Cotton Candy Grapes!  YES...Christine told me about them like 2 years ago and I finally found them in my region at Wegmans!

These are out-of-this-world sweet!  What a treat!  Truly 'natures candy'!  Some people have complained that they are too sweet for their liking but I just LOVE them.  I'm so grateful I was FINALLY able to find them - even if I had to drive 45 minutes to get them!

While I was at Wegman's I found this TERRIFIC Vegan Sauce!  I LOVE making my own but I have to say this is the BEST Vegan Sauce I have had that was store bought!  Later today I will be posting a recipe from last night's dinner!  The flavor is this was stellar!  It was truly tomato and basil and creamy and YUMMY!
