peanut butter fudge litter

This recipe is the way I like it: fast, practical, healthy and delicious! Unfortunately, most of the sweets we find out there are full of sugars and industrialized ingredients (dyes, stabilizers, chemical additives…etc.), which are usually responsible for triggering inflammatory processes and, often, allergic processes in our body. I like to share these recipes to share how easy and practical it is to make our own sweets with real ingredients!

I recommend portioning the fudge in small pieces and leaving it in the freezer for the days when the ants are attacked or to accompany a coffee. I find it very practical and it helps me a lot to have healthy options within my reach. Fudge can be stored for up to 30 days in the freezer, the only difficulty is to resist and not eat in less than a week! I have another version of chocolate fudge that I love with passion, see here.

Peruvian stretcher

Did you notice that one of the ingredients I put on is Peruvian maca? Peruvian Maca is an adaptogenic root grown in Peru, often found in powder at health food stores. I love the slightly sweet taste and smell it has, in addition to the mineral profile that is very rich! Maca has been used for centuries by South American populations to increase focus, hormonal balance, increase in energy, aphrodisiac, improves physical performance (both strength and endurance) and aid in depression and anxiety. Even if there is no scientific basis on these effects, maca is still considered a superfood or \”superfood\” depending on its nutritional profile, with numerous minerals and phytonutrients.

How to use: Usually small amounts are enough to include in smoothies, granolas, coffees, etc. I suggest starting with 1 teaspoon and gradually progressing to 1 tablespoon according to taste and needs.

Which option to buy: powder or gelatinized? The second option is the best! That’s because not gelatinization process, Antinutrients are eliminated, which makes its functional components accessible to the body, in other words, the digestion and absorption of nutrients will occur more effectively. recommend that (for USA) and that (Brazil) option.
