If you’re new to the raw food diet, this raw treat recipe will satisfy even the meanest craving. It’s not the perfect food by any means, but if you swap some other junk food for treats like these, your body will be much happier.

This recipe is probably healthier than 90% of the food out there, even though it’s sweet and fatty and chocolate-y. All of those ingredients are on the lists of superfoods (well, maybe not salt or vanilla). We choose all organically grown and minimally processed ingredients when we make this, and we buy in bulk to save packaging and to get exactly what we need.

For those that follow the 80/10/10 Diet of Dr. Douglas Graham, there’s probably enough oil in there for a whole day’s consumption. For the Sunfood Diet Success System of David Wolfe, balance it out with plenty of greens.

For those following the Natural Papa Diet to End All Diets, eat up! It’s simple homemade nutritious food that will fuel your active life and help you keep up with your kids.
