Cashew Coconut Bites, Maca Muffins and Freezer Fudge w/ Wild Foods Co


Boy, do I have quite the line up of healthy treats to share with you today! Thanks to Wild Foods Co for sending some goodies to inspire these recipes. 

First, I want to share part of Wild Foods Co philosophy from their website:
Wild Foods was founded from a desire to bring together the best ingredients in the world to support health, performance and conscious food consumerism.
Knowing where our ingredients come from, how they are made, and the impact they have on the world, is of paramount importance because we know that food is the most important aspect of health, body composition, performance and longevity.

How awesome is that?! Not only is their philosophy awesome, their food is incredible as well! The protein powder and maca used in these recipes was not chalky at all. The coconut oil was delicious. The sweet cacao nibs were thoroughly enjoyed by Jared when he mixed them into yogurt and oats. I am still coming up with more recipes, so keep your eyes on my Instagram page


Now, onto the recipes...
