Regular fudge: Processed sugar, low-quality fats, no protein, no fiber.
Metabolic Drive® Freezer Fudge: Zero processed sugar, very low fat, high fiber, and a nice hit of protein in every sweet and salty bite. Easy to make, too.
This recipe is actually similar to those "paleo" bars you've seen in health-food stores, only you won't have to remortgage your home to fuel your snack bar addiction. Here are two ways to make it:
Ingredients for Chocolate Sea-Salt Fudge
- 18 Medjool dates, pitted
- 3 Scoops chocolate Metabolic Drive® Protein
- 3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 Tablespoons peanut butter powder (PB2) or almond flour
- 1/4 Teaspoon sea salt
Ingredients for Caramel-Toffee Fudge
- 18 Medjool dates, pitted
- 3 Scoops vanilla Metabolic Drive® Protein
- 3 Tablespoons lucuma powder (available at health food stores)
- 2 Tablespoons almond flour
Instructions
- Line a tin or container with baking paper. You'll also need a good food processor or high-powered blender.
- Simply toss in all of the ingredients and blend until the mixture forms into a ball. It might look a little too dry at first, but persevere and it should form a ball after about 30-60 seconds.
- Remove the ball and press down in the tin/container. Alternatively, you could just roll it between two sheets of baking paper.
- Flatten or roll out as thin as you'd like, then cut and portion into 18 bite-sized pieces or 9 full-size bars.
- For the chocolate sea-salt version, add a little extra sea salt on top... for the Instagram likes.
- These work just fine at room temperature, but they'll harden in the freezer and become irresistibly chewy.
- Use the baking paper to individually wrap the bars for an easy grab-and-go snack when needed.
