Superfood Sweets: Raw Beauty Chocolate Mint Cup Recipe

You won’t be able to put them down. 

These delicious chocolate peppermint cups taste like a peppermint patty – only without inflammatory processed sugar and mystery food additives. Instead, coconut oil and coconut butter offer lots of healthy fats to keep skin hydrated.

Coconut Butter vs. Coconut Oil

This recipe calls for the use of coconut butter and coconut oil. Unsure what the difference is? Coconut oil is extracted from the coconut while coconut butter includes the meat of the actual coconut fruit. Nutritionally speaking, coconut oil is entirely made of fat while coconut butter has a little bit of dietary fiber from the meat. Coconut butter also includes some protein, potassium, magnesium and iron.

Other Benefits

This recipe also uses lots of cocoa powder which is full of iron, magnesium and zinc for optimum metabolism and cell renewal. Last but not least, a scoop of our Raw Beauty Green Superfood Powder adds hormone-balancing adaptogens, gut-healthy probiotics and de-bloating digestive enzymes.
