If you’re going to indulge in something sweet, better to supercharge it with beauty benefits.
Traditional chocolate truffles are made with chocolate and heavy cream (yum!) but research shows that dairy may contribute to acne (not so yummy). This recipe replaces traditional heavy cream with healthy fats from coconut milk and coconut oil.
We’ve also added our Collagen Love supplement for an added boost of anti-aging support. Collagen Love is rich in collagen peptides to help support skin structure and elasticity. It also contains hyaluronic acid to help with skin hydration and red wine and grape seed extracts for antioxidant protection against aging free radicals.
Don’t forget! Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants, too, so go on and treat yourself with these delish chocolate treats.
