What is better than chocolate-dipped fruit?!  Well, chocolate-dipped fruit that has protein and superfoods and still tastes absolutely decadent! Duh.

I love fruit and I love chocolate, so naturally, I would love chocolate-dipped fruit.  Unfortunately, a lot of the chocolate coatings have loads of sugar and are jam-packed with preservatives and chemicals.

When chocolate-dipped fruit begins appearing in advertisements (especially this time of year), I naturally begin to crave this sweet treat.  This year I was bound and determined to find a slightly healthier or pure version.  As luck would have it, I scored a home run on my first try!!

I made a chocolate dipping “sauce” from a vegan chocolate superfood powder, coconut oil, and raw honey. I used it to coat the raspberries, cherries, and blueberries.  I would have dipped strawberries too, but they just didn’t look good at the store.

Time: 1 ½ hours to 3 ½ hours (depending on your choice of freezing; see below.)

Ingredients:

• 1 scoop Vegan Chocolate or Chocolate Shakeology
• 2-3T Virgin Coconut Oil
• 1t Raw Honey
• Fruit of choice for dipping
• Parchment paper
• Small dish or bowl

Directions:

• Melt 2T coconut oil in a small dish for about 45 seconds in the microwave.
• Mix in Shakeology and raw honey.
• The mix should have the consistency of melted chocolate.  You may need to add a little more melted coconut oil but play with the consistency a little.
• Mix with a fork until nearly smooth – it may look a tiny bit gritty.
• Dip the fruit in the chocolate mix and place onto parchment paper.
• Optional suggestion: Dip the fruit a second time after having dipped all the fruit once.  This creates a thicker chocolate coating.
• Place fruit in the fridge for 3 hours or in the freezer for 1 hour.
• Remove and ENJOY!!
