Hello Chocolate. Hello Turmeric...?
Now, I know chocolate and turmeric won't solve all your problems, but they will do wonders for your aching body and soul.
TURMERiC : The National Institutes is currently funding studies on turmeric and curcumin for a variety of conditions including colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, Alzaheimer's disease, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and rhematoid athritis. It has a special affinity for reducing inflammation in the body, particulary in the gastrointestinal tract.
CHOCOLATE : A well known and delicious antioxidant, it has anti-inflammatory and heart health benefits (including blood pressure + cholesterol levels). Use at least 70% cacao to enjoy all those properties (so yeah, a Snickers bar doesn't count).
YOU NEED : 1 cup (175 g) dark chocolate, chopped ¼ cup (50 g) coconut oil - ½ cup (120 g) natural peanut/almond or sunflower butter ¼ cup (85 g) maple syrup 2 tablespoons coconut oil, 1 tbsp turmeric
HOW TO :
Line a small cupcake pan with cupcake liners. Melt chocolate with coconut oil. Pour 1/4" in small cupcake pan, stick in the freezer. Save half of chocolate on the side. Warm on low heat in small pan : PB with maple syrup + 2 Tablespoon coconut oil + 1 tablespoon of turmeric.
Mix until smooth. Add to frozen layer of chocolate. Freeze. Then after 15 minutes add remaining chocolate. Freeze 1 hour.
Done. Eat. Smile. Eat another one. Maybe a third, who knows?
I recommend keeping them in the fridge for sweet perfection.
