Yummy chocolate cream cake recipe

Hey everyone

How is everyone’s Sunday going?

Ours started with some fresh grapefruit juice mixed with some coconut water and spirulina and stevia. I know it may sound weird but it was actually really good.

Later we enjoyed our green smoothie before we went for our run today.

Filled with mint, parsley, ginger, water, chia seeds, and papaya drizzled with yacon syrup

Well we are finally starting to get our workout groove back. It turned out to be a beautiful day here in south Florida so we took advantage of getting our Vitamin D :)

Twins Workout:

  • 4 mile run outside
  • push-ups
  • abs

Both felt great, so happy to get a good workout in finally!

So as promised we are going to share one our favorite raw desserts.

    Could the cashew butter be replaced with raw cashews? If so, how would that work and what would I need to do differently? Thanks so much. :)
