“I haven’t eaten sugar for almost 5 years. What about honey? Nope. Maple Syrup? Not even. Agave? Never. Really I don’t eat ANY sugar. Why did I decide to cut out all sugar? I was suffering from an overgrowth of Candida. I really didn’t feel good and had trouble with my digestive system. My integrative doctor put me on a real food diet and strongly recommended I ditch the sugar. I found I had more energy, got better sleep and made my dentist happy. But I still have a sweet tooth. Most of the time fruit suffices, but sometimes I crave chocolate. I started eating chocolate that is 100% cacao without any added sugar. It’s very bitter, of course, and quite hard core. After much experimentation I came up with a recipe to appease my sweet tooth. I pair it with cashew butter because its natural sweetness works with a pinch of Stevia and orange essential oil to create a heavenly confection. It hits the sweet spot every time.” -Sarah
