Once your body adjusts you will gradually start eating less and then focus on you calories, and other macros. You may want to start a food log! 2) try not to do crazy recipes, stick to simple foods. 3) If you mess up or realize something had more sugar than you thought, it’s ok. Learn then keep going.

100% Vegan Keto Fudge

Keto and Vegan have come together to make this delicious and EASY treat!! There really isn't an easier recipe that mixing something in a bowl and placing it in the fridge! This recipe has a coconut flavor, I will give some tips at the bottom to alter that. Here is what you will need: 3 Tablespoons Sweetener - I used Swerve 3/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder 1/3 cup Unsweetened Coconut Milk 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract 3/4 melted Coconut Oil 1/3 cup of Lily's Chocolate Chips. Mix all of the ingredients, except the chocolate chips in a bowl. In a microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips, in about 20 second increments until melted. Combine the chocolate chips with the rest of the ingredients.  Pour into your molds, and place in the fridge for at least 3 hours. That's really it! For some variation you can use extracts like raspberry, or strawberry! I recommend 1/2 teaspoon.
