Did you know that Nutella contains 54g sugar/100g? To put that in perspective, Coke has 11g/100g and we know how crap Coke is for us. How then, is Nutella “a nutritious breakfast food”? How about a packet of party mix lollies, some fairy floss and a 2L Fanta for breakfast too?!? I’m not saying it isn’t delicious, it is, but it is NOT good for you! Here’s a much better version, without all the sugar. You can sweeten it with a tablespoon or so of maple syrup or agave if you prefer that to stevia.
200g shredded coconut
200g roasted hazlenuts
2 tbs raw cacao
1 tbs cinnamon
Pinch stevia (optional)
In your food processor blend the coconut until it starts to form a paste. Add the hazlenuts and continue to blend until it all comes together like the consistency of nut-butter. Add cacao, cinnamon & stevia and blend for about another minute. Done! I spread mine on my protein muffins, pancakes or pour into a dish, allow to set in the fridge and you have Not-Nutella Bark!
Here’s the spread
And some Not-Nutella Bark
