Making your own Starbucks knock-off frappuccinos is easier than you think.
With just three ingredients and a blender, you can make this vegan chocolate frappuccino.

At a quarter of the price and without all the added sugars and artificial flavourings, you'll wonder why you didn't make your own faux-Starbucks drinks sooner. 

The macros for this drink compared to a Starbucks frappuccino will also astound you. 
You're saving yourself 190 calories, 40g carbs and 37g sugar!

Sugar Free Chocolate Coated Oranges

Welcome to Day Two of a Week of Chocolate Recipes!

Fruit and chocolate are a match made in heaven. Hell, almost everything sweet goes with chocolate!

Forget that sugar-filled chocolate from the supermarket, it's so easy to make your own at home.
With my basic chocolate sauce recipe (only three ingredients needed) below, you can coat any fruit of your choosing to create a delicious, guilt-free snack/dessert. 

No lie, this beats Terry's Chocolate Orange hands down.

Cayenne Pepper Chocolate [Vegan, Dairy, Gluten & Sugar Free]



If there's one thing that's as strong as my desire for all things chocolate, it is for spicy foods. 
The spicier the food the better, I say!

I think it all stems from my love of Mexican food and jalapeno peppers. 
I would eat stuffed jalapenos all day every day if I could. 

Today's recipe is somewhere between a sweet and savoury treat. 
The bitterness of the cocoa, the heat from the cayenne pepper and the slight hint of sweetness from the stevia work in harmony in this recipe.

If you're a little sensitive to spicy food, I would suggest halving the amount of cayenne pepper, and perhaps adding a little more stevia.

Week of Chocolate Recipes


When I chose to go sugar free (for the most part), chocolate was the first thing I missed. Cocoa powder, stevia and coconut oil soon became my friends and enabled me to create my own healthier version of store-bought chocolate.

And with that it brings me to announcing a new Week of series.

You know the drill. Five days. Five recipes.
And this week's theme and everybody's favourite: Chocolate!

Come back tomorrow for the first recipe: Cayenne Pepper Chocolate!
