3 - Yummy CMJ NO-Bakes * good-for-you, Sweet-Tooth treats!

These no-bake recipes are easy & quick.  Since you are not over-heating the hemp seeds, the omegas are not compromised. The secret to yummy chocolate is to use high quality dark cocoa powder (or 100% cacao) which has good antioxidants.  Using organic products, pure vanilla extract, and shredded unsweetened coconut will provide best results.  I have used Palm Sugar with great success.  Pure coconut palm sugar reportedly has a naturally low glycemic index. Other preferred sugars or sweetners may be substituted.  These recipes are easy to convert to vegan!
