Can you refer to these raw chocolate hazelnut truffles as energy bites? If you want to, then yes. We classify this recipe as more of a dessert than a snack, though. That said, they are rich in healthy fats and protein, making them great for satiating you between meals. One or two will do the trick because they are calorically dense because of the raw hazelnuts. Just one ounce of hazelnuts contains 176 calories, so just be mindful of that when enjoying this raw vegan dessert.

We often talk about the health benefits of almonds, walnuts, cashews, raw cacao powder, and other nuts and seeds. Because we don’t typically feature hazelnuts, we wanted to highlight how they benefit your health. Forget about Nutella for a second, because that doesn’t do your body any favors, despite how delicious it is. Although we don’t have a raw vegan version of Nutella, we do have this chocolate spread recipe (click here).

Hazelnuts are naturally rich in vitamin E, magnesium, copper, thiamin, manganese, folate, phosphorus, and vitamin B6. Health experts note that the antioxidants (phenolic compounds) in hazelnuts proved to lower blood cholesterol and inflammation. They may also help protect the heart and were able to significantly reduce oxidative stress. Additionally, the high concentration of antioxidants, specifically the proanthocyanidins, may offer anti-cancer properties. In fact, some test-tube and animal studies showed that proanthocyanidins may may help protect against certain cancers. Lastly, the manganese also aids the reduction of oxidative stress, which may further reduce the risk of cancer.

Nutella, a sweet hazelnut spread, has become a worldwide sensation, so much so that it has received its own day. Some people put Nutella inside crepes and other like to spread it on flaky pastries. Well, there are those of us who are on raw diets and would like to enjoy Nutella. How do we do that?

Nutella is technically classified as a dessert topping, much like chocolate syrup. Because of this, a single serving of Nutella is two tablespoons, totaling up to 200 calories and packing 21 grams of fat. Ferrero, the makers of Nutella, wants to change that serving size to one tablespoon because about 60% of the people who eat Nutella slather it on toast for breakfast. As a plus for the company, the consumer would then think that Nutella had fewer calories, fat, and sugar per serving upon glancing at the label.

We want to bring a raw Nutella option to all of our cleansers! And that’s exactly what we are doing now. We have two recipes that do not have excess fat, calories, or sugars. They taste like the real deal without the negatives of regular Nutella. Try the following recipes below and let us know what you think. You may even like it more than the real thing!
