Healthy Desserts Homemade Vegan Almond Butter Cups (Healthy Treat)
These vegan almond butter cups will quickly become your favorite treats, even if you’re not a big fan of vegan desserts.
The almond, coconut oil, and raw cacao combination is definitely a hit – it makes these almond butter cups heavenly and also provides your body with much-needed nutrients.
Almonds are a great source of the key minerals magnesium and calcium, and are also loaded with protein. Raw cacao powder gives your liver the antioxidants it needs to neutralize free radicals and whisk them from the body.
The healthy fats in coconut oil contribute to a better absorption of the antioxidants in raw cacao. Pair these three ingredients with potassium-loaded dates to obtain a delicious and nutritious vegan almond butter cup.
