    Chocolate Heaven Protein Dip

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Chocolate Heaven Protein Dip. VEGAN + GLUTEN FREE. A healthy fondue-like dessert dip that can be made in 3 minutes. Tastes heavenly and perfect for dipping strawberries and fresh fruit in, even as a protein-packed post workout snack! From The Glowing Fridge.

    It’s love week! 

    Time to share the love with something simple and sweet.

    Doesn’t hurt that this healthy Chocolate Heaven Protein Dip is shareable for two… and lickable… kidding! Not really though.

    Since many of you are health-conscious like me, you’re probably looking for a healthier alternative to all the decadent sweets that are swarming the stores and calling your name. It’s just mean, isn’t it?!!! Or maybe you’re planning to go all out and eat endless amounts of candy and chocolate this Valentine’s Day. Whatever you decide to do, this heavenly dip is a quick little sweet tooth/snack fix that you should definitely pin or bookmark right now.

    Don’t be fooled – this is a healthy treat that you can whip up all year round. I would even consider it a post-workout snack… if you eat it with fresh fruit and not cookies! Sometimes our protein shakes/smoothies can get old and it’s fun to mix up how we use protein powders! I know you’ve been busting your booty in the gym so don’t wash away your hard work with loads of sugar and processed treats this weekend. Of course you should treat yourself every so often but if you’re feelin’ the healthy vibes for this weekend of love, then make your someone special this yummy dip and get your chocolate fix this way. 

    Swirling in some fresh strawberries for a healthier chocolate covered strawberry sounds like a good idea to me. YUM.

    Made with plain coconut milk yogurt, cacao powder, maple syrup and EPIC Chocolate Maca Protein Powder, this fondue-like dessert dip is SUPER EASY to make in literally 3 minutes. No melting required.

    I’ve always loved and raved about the Sprout Living EPIC Protein powders which I’ve mentioned here on TGF before. I especially love their Chocolate Maca flavor because of it’s potent superfood blend with antioxidant-rich cacao and adaptogenic maca powder. You guys know I LOVE maca and have it in smoothies or hot chocolate every single day. Plus, hello chocolate flavor.

    Sprout Living protein powders combine organic nutrient-dense whole foods that are full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients, with a complete amino acid profile. Their highly digestible superfood blends fuel your body which allow you to perform at optimal level. I love how they stick to 100% whole food ingredients and never use “natural” flavorings, weird “other ingredients” or additives of any kind. 

    It’s purity at it’s finest.

    The EPIC protein powders are:

    • raw & vegan
    • organic
    • gluten free
    • nut free
    • non-gmo

    They have up to 26 grams of complete vegan protein per serving. With a creamy texture, rich real flavor and full-bodied sweetness, there’s  no ‘fake’ aftertaste. Here are the ingredients for the Chocolate Maca protein powder: Sprouted Brown Rice, Yellow Pea, Sacha Inchi, Cranberry Seed, Cacao, Maca Root, Ceylon, Cinnamon, Lucuma Fruit, Heirloom Red Banana, Jerusalem Artichoke, Baobab Fruit, Himalayan Pink Sea Salt and Stevia Leaf.

    GET EXCITED because I’ve collaborated with Sprout Living to do a giveaway for you guys! 

    The giveaway includes 5 items:

    • a 16 oz. bag of the balanced and complete EPIC Protein Chocolate Maca protein powder with 19 grams of high-quality plant protein
    • 4 sample packs of the EPIC Protein powders which include the Original, Green Kingdom, Vanilla Lucuma and Chocolate Maca

    GIVEAWAY GUIDELINES:

    • It starts today (Thursday, February 11th) and will run until Wednesday, February 17th. Winner announced Thursday.

    Pin Recipe

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 5.3 ounce container of plain cultured coconut milk (coconut yogurt)
    • 1 scoop of the Chocolate Maca EPIC protein powder
    • 1 tablespoon raw cacao powder
    • 1/2 – 1 tablespoon coconut flour (to thicken)
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • pinch of pink sea salt

    Instructions

    1. In a small bowl, mix all ingredients together with a spoon. Depending on the consistency you want, start with 1/2 tablespoon of coconut flour to thicken, then add the other half only if needed.
    2. Serve with your favorite fresh fruit like berries, bananas, pineapple etc.
    3. Enjoy!

    Notes

    • I did not try this recipe with any other type of flour. Other kinds may alter the taste.
    • Adjust the sweetness level to your liking but stick with liquid sweeteners (maple syrup/agave) as actual sugars may create a grainy texture.
    • Refrigerate leftovers up to 2 days.

    now that I’m studying to become a integrative he now that I’m studying to become a integrative health practitioner, I’ve realized to a greater extent how one way of eating may not be perfect for everyone. how being strictly #plantbased isn’t a top priority for everyone. how different we really are. I’ve recently come to accept this, even though I will promote plant based until the day I die. my feelings have evolved over time. I used to be more pushy and believe my way of eating was the only way! but the reality is, there is no one diet and it’s infuriating when doctors push one diet only! its what works for YOUR body and it can change over time (depending on many factors). while this may upset some people, this will be apart of my job. as a practitioner I will have to meet people where they are at and guide them with an open mind. I can’t assume or expect that everyone will want to be plant based tomorrow! while I can always promote “the more plant foods the better” type of mentality (and I promise you, I will!) there is something called bio-individuality, meaning “there is not a one-size-fits-all diet, each person is a unique individual with highly individualized nutritional requirements”. what I will also promote is intuitive eating and really tuning into what your body wants and needs, and allowing that intuition to sharpen and grow (and hopefully it leads to more plants 🌱😬). doing this takes so much practice… to trust what your body is telling you is hard and confusing in the beginning. I think the change for me was allowing what I wanted to eat at first and it slowly evolved to wanting to choose healthier options because I felt better that way, but also knowing when I need vegan mac and cheese or french fries or ice cream and not making a big deal out of it. and not labeling any food as “bad” but rather just “food”. this didn’t happen overnight though! tell me below - how have you become more intuitive with eating habits? how do you tune in? photo by @sarahiltonphotography & I put a little filter on it 💗 #intuitiveeating
    DETOX: in order to detox and not feel like total c DETOX: in order to detox and not feel like total crap, it’s essential to open up your drainage pathways first. although not glamorous to talk about, this is the most important step for any health protocol. setting the foundation… just like building a house. there are no quick fixes in detoxing! for example: you don’t want to jump into a parasite cleanse but have your detox pathways blocked… this includes making sure you are peeing, pooping, sweating and moving your lymph every single day. and when I say pooping, I mean 1-3 times per day. ideally 2-3 or after large meals. if you are constipated while killing off parasites, you are not going to feel good at all because they need to be eliminated quickly and if not, the pathogens/toxins they release can get re-circulated in the body. take it from me because I didn’t know about any of this while doing a parasite cleanse… I was bed ridden, had fevers, my face broke out, I was puffy and bloated. this was not fun at all! ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
>> So how do you open up your drainage pathways (and keep them open)? ⁣⠀
• proper hydration, ideally with mineral drops⁣⠀
• daily movement to break a sweat (I love using my @higherdose sauna blanket in addition to movement)⁣⠀
• balanced whole food diet: lots of veggies and fruit, fiber from real food, nothing processed, no refined sugar⁣⠀
• bowel moving herbs if you are consipated (bowel mover from Microbe Formulas), coffee enemas, tudca (to keep bile moving, liver support) and include a binder if you use any of these (I like bioactive carbon binders from Microbe Formulas)⁣⠀
- clean products: beauty, skincare, cleaning, etc⁣⠀
- air quality: open the windows, get a @airdoctorpro air filter, plants⁣⠀
- proper sleep: 7-8 hours⁣⠀
- healthy mind: mediation, yoga, breath work⠀
⠀
I hope you find this helpful! Let me know if you have questions below! #detoxprotocol #drainagepathways
