Lily's chocolate is 100% sugar free. I've only seen in baking-chip form (like chocolate chips), but they can be easily melted like any other chocolate.

Oh my, honey, maple syrup, and the medjool dates have sugar, which increases blood sugar, which triggers the insulin response, which in turn stops fat burning in the body. I'll be substituting those sugars with 100% Organic Stevia, and unsweetened chocolate. Looks delish, thanks for the inspiration.
Honey and maple syrup have a TON of sugar in them and they are both super high-glycemic meaning your body processes it very quick (where we get the terms sugar high and sugar crash from). In my personal experience, monk fruit is medium-glycemic for me (everyone's body is going to process sugars and sugar substitutes differently). If you want an alternative, Agave syrup (comes in a few different colors, some taste like sugar, some taste like maple syrup) while it is full of sugar it is very LOW- glycemic meaning your body processes it slowly over time rather than all at once. If you NEED to avoid excess sugars (as in that's not already in the fruits and veggies you eat), then use either liquid Stevia or Agave syrup. If you already grow Stevia, then dehydrate that up, crush it or powder it, and add it in with your ingredients.
Agave is full of fructose - it's even higher in fructose than high-fructose corn syrup. Fructose is the damaging part of sugar because the body can't use it efficiently as fuel and the reason why it's low glycemic is because the body doesn't metabolize it well and it all hits the liver where 40% of it is turned straight to fat immediately because the liver has to spend a lot of time trying to convert the fructose into something usable to the body. Search for Dr. Robert Lustig on why fructose is poison. There's a reason why bears eat almost exclusively berries and fruit during the fall to fatten up for winter.
@@alwaysright5901 the difference between honey and agave, though, is agave processes through the body significantly slower than honey and cane sugar, which process super fast. Agave IS better in that sense. And as long as they are as close to raw as possible, it and honey are highly nutritious. Regarding Agave vs Monk Fruit sweeteners, which is what keto "maple syrup" is, it comes down to a matter of taste preference because of how slow agave processes through the body. If you're going the sugar-alcohol route rather than monk fruit, a diabetic still needs to be careful because it IS a carbohydrate and process in the body as a carbohydrate. Literally everything can be safe OR dangerous - it just depends on HOW we use them. Everything in moderation. Natural sugars straight from the fruit or vegetable WHILE we eat them are always the BEST option. It's certainly not ideal in this day and age to cut out desserts, but if our ancestors managed without chocolate, so can we.
My go to treat is one slice of grain bread half smeared with PB, fold over and dip in applesauce. LOVE IT! Almost 70 and have eaten it for all my life....not every day mind you. Just a few days a week for lunch.
Yes never really like pb but have gotten it to eat like it now Organic pb other has to much sugar & preservatives & stabilizers you do have stir Organic but do always refrigerat will get thicker doesn't love it much better then the non organic & about 2 grams of natural sugars none added great with Bananas or to make a no bake dessert use raw honey to eat a sandwich instead of jelly they make a jelly made with fruit sugar only but hard to find & real expensive plus raw honey taste better to me.
Maple syrup is sugar and a lot of it. The best sugar free chocolates are Goalz and Lilly's. Sugar is sugar and not good for diabetics. Stick to liquid stevia if you need a liquid sweetener
Suger us sugar is correct. I generally use honey, but your body treats any of it like sugar. The benefits of honey in reference to it being more nutritious are miniscule.
Baker's chocolate is sugar free. You can melt it, add powder stevia (love Pyure shaker) or liquid stevia which can come with other flavor infused, like hazelnut, mint, etc. Then place in silicone chocolate bar molds 👍 For healthiest option, 100% stevia.
I really like Lily's chocolate, but it is pretty expensive. Your suggestion is a lot more budget friendly considering the cost of groceries these days!
You should try Hu Chocolate, their chocolate products are refined sugar free and sweetened with more natural sugars like dates or coconut sugar as opposed to stevia. Also Dr. Bronners (yes the same maker as the soap 😆) actually has chocolate bars out now and they’re sweetened with coconut sugar.
Choczero has no aftertaste at all. I love it. Chocolate chips, they have some that are like Almond Joy's, Reese's peanut butter cups, chocolate with hazelnuts. Delicious!!!!
When I need sweets I bake with either almond flour or a combination of lentil , rice and coconut flour. I use blue agave syrup as a sweetener, and coconut oil. Most traditional recipes can be adapted to these ingredients. Sometime it’s necessary to add an extra 1/4 cup of liquid since the flour mixture is very dry. One of my favorite treats is orange bread. It contains yogurt, orange juice and orange zest. I add dried cranberries that have low sugar or chopped dried apricots.
Girl, folks be trippin me out, I LOOOOVE, LOVE me some peanut butter ok!!! Im a JIF extra peanuts in it girl, and thats all she wrote. Peanut butter ain't did nothing to nobody. And I do not care about what the, "perfect" eating people think or say, shoo'd peanut butter good, they know it too. Already tried almond and his butter, yep I said it, his butter, and I don't like it. Homemade or store bought peanut butter, (JIF) is alright with me. Holla! Loved this recipe!!! It looks delicious, as do everything you make. Thank you for sharing this recipe. God bless you! Happy Resurrection Day! Amen!🕊️🙏❤🎉🍫😋
My favorite go-to sweet snacks are either oranges or dried apricots. I keep one shelf in a cabinet where I put all my snacks. I tend to lean towards salty snacks like chicken flavored crackers or butter crackers, potato chips😮
I made the first recipe and I can’t believe how delicious it is!! 😋 thank you. Great recipe! I was paying a fortune for Keto protein chocolate bars and they have soy oils and other unrecognisable ingredients in them that aggravate otherwise dormant neurological pain. This is so healthy and satisfying. 🎊 🎉😊
Thanks Lil Sis! I'll be trying both. When eating refined (laboratory-made) sugars, my joints GET MAD and complain in pain. I've never been a big sweets eater, however, I do notice that when I have a piece of chocolate, doth not protests as strongly...hehehehe😀😀I can't wait to try this. Thanks as always and am wishing you showers of blessings.
I was never big on sweets until I hit 50. Then my body went all to heck. I craved sweets and my doctor finally got me approved for some meds because I have a blood decease called "Factor V" its not good for me to have sweets. But thanks to Camirra. I can have these every once in a while.
Those look great❣️ My only complaint is the Saran wrap. Much better idea is to wrap them in squares of wax paper! Then put them in a Rubbermaid type container in your fridge or freezer and good to go! No single use plastic needed ❤ Also””if you want water, just drink water”!!! I’m dying 😂😂😂
It's good fat.It's not hard to find chocolate without sugar. All you have to do is get some baking chocolate from the baking isle. But oyu won't want to use it straight up - it's way too bitter. You can find chocolate with no refined sugar such as chocolate with honey, mple syrup, stevia, etc. These look yummy!
In order to balance the blood sugar spike, I use the rule of 5. Add up the grams of carbs and the grams of fiber per serving. Divide the carbs by the fiber. If the result is less than 5, then you’re okay. So anytime you can add an ingredient with fiber, it can balance out the carbs.
Yes. Sugar is sugar. It all breaks down into glucose and fructose and too much of it, especially when delivered without fiber, gets stored for later use in our liver and fat cells. Thank you Glucose Goddess!
@@susiex6669 It's antibacterial. But if you want to avoid all the awful damage that carbs do, you can't eat it -- it is still sugar. Fruit, honey, whole grain bread, corn, etc., all raise your blood sugar. A good book to learn about it is Dr. David Perlmutter's "Grain Brain", but there's good information out there everywhere, including on the back of the honey and maple syrup bottles -- look at the nutrition labels on them -- they're hugely high in sugar.
Ghirardelli makes baking chocolate bars with 0 sugar I buy them on amazon I use them for making ice cream as chips in or coating on macadamia nuts in vanilla ice cream or for chocolate ice cream. I recommend stevia or monkfruit with Allulose comes in brown or granulated but none of those other artificial sweeteners I use these for my dirty carnivore diet and I've lost 40 lbs sense just after last thanksgiving I dont have cravings anymore but in the beginning, they served me well I still use monkfruit with Allulose for making BBQ Sause and beef jerky marinade
I bought a syrup from the Livlo brand which uses allulose. I was shocked how sweet it was. Are you using allulose with monkfruit because of the aftertaste with monkfruit? I'm new at this. Ty!
Ghirardelli has sugar free chocolate chips and they are AMAZING! You wouldn’t know they didn’t contain sugar. BUT some people cannot digest the Maltitol. And *I* am one of those people. I ate @ 2 Tablespoons. Within 45 minutes I was in the bathroom for the REST OF TNE EVENING! 3 1/2 hours! I decided not to throw it out-I’m saving it for medicinal purposes……if you get my drift There is also choc-zero. Haven’t tried it yet but I will. I freeze banana slices and dip them in melted chocolate. Ghirardelli has a 90% chocolate. It’s kinda bitter but the sweetness from the banana compensates for it. I also stuff pitted dates with half of a toasted pecan and a dab of peanut butter and dip them in chocolate. And I put some frozen banana slices in the blender with enough low fat milk to help it mix well. Add a bit of the dry mix from a pkg of sugar free chocolate pudding and blend until,it’s nice and thick. Eat it right away as a soft serve kind of ice cream or put in a plastic container and freeze. Let it sit at room temp till a little softened.
I had to switch to almond butter from peanut butter because I can't eat as much almond butter than peanut butter. I will eat a whole jar of peanut butter in a sitting! I eat PB on almost everything, even found a shop at the mall with Peanut Butter Soup! OMG it is GOOD!
I am going to try the chocolate and date bar. That looks really good. I’m not much of a nut peanut butter candy bar type person. Do you think we could change the peanuts in the cashews into walnuts? Because I like walnuts. This time of the year, when Easter is coming around, I really love the Cadberry chocolate. This might keep me from eating some of that. So thank you very much, Kathy.
WOW Chef CAMIRRA 👩🏾🍳, both recipes sounds amazingly Divine and exceptionally delicious 😋. Absolutely Sensational. Enjoy a happy and blessed stress free peaceful Sunday with your family and a fantastic week ahead God bless you all in abundance forever . Amen 😊. Well done 👏🏽👏🏽💛💐🧡✨👑✨👸🏽😘.
Thanks so much for these recipes! I'm going to try both too. Instead of maple syrup I'm going to use Mrs. Butterworth's Sugar Free Syrup. I hope it works.
My favourite lunch WAS homemade bread, toasted with peanut butter. For over a year now, no homemade bread for me, and no peanut butter. I no longer have cravings, but I do love watching you, and may use the crust to make KETO lemon bars. This does look yummy though. Thanks! ❤️
We also use Colostrum for heartburn or after a meal that feels too heavy. The bars look delish! I make something similar to the first one and add unflavored protein powder. Crunchy PB
Instead of looking in the candy aisle, go over to the baking aisle, for unsweetened baking chocolate. Hershey's quit making theirs in 2018 (not sure if they brought it back), but I just pulled a box of Baker's brand out of my pantry to check, it contains no sugar. For alternative, instead of Crisco or other veg. shortening, mix the dry cocoa with cocoa butter. You can find cocoa butter in the beauty aisle, in little pale yellow 1 oz. tubes (NOT the cream blends - you want the only ingredient to be cocoa butter). Cocoa butter is HARD at room temp. I used to get it for $1/tube at Dollar General, Walmart sells them for 8.26/oz, Queen Helene brand. It is pure cocoa butter. I have some to use on my skin, as it literally melts into your skin. It is used for stretch marks, but I use it in my soaps and just rub it straight on cuticles in winter. Anyway, although in this form it is sold for skin care, so long as it is pure cocoa butter and there are no other ingredients, it is edible. I have never tried it with cocoa powder as a sub for chocolate in recipes, but I don't see why it would not work. iHerb sells them for $2/tube. It is the exact same item, no idea why it has jumped in price. Well, maybe we all know.... Pure coca butter will keep on the shelf for years, but might dry out a little, and will have a whitish film. That's fine, it's still good, just drying out. It contains natural antioxidants which keep it from going rancid.
Hey Jackie, I’m not sure where you are in your journey to cut sugar, but I can say the best thing I ever did was to cut it cold turkey for a week. I had really horrible food noise and a full blown sugar addiction but after abstaining for a week and increasing my protein intake, it has been so much better. I know it’s different for everyone. Many blessings on your journey.
@jessicavaquero6640 oh wow that's awesome to hear! And I think you are right about cold turkey. Do you use dates or any recommendations for what you eat? And thank you :) sending blessings your way
@@Jackie1111 Hi Jackie, the sweets that I have are some fruit (berries) and this amino drink that has a sugar replacement. Dates have too many calories for me personally. (I am also trying to lose weight while cutting sugar and processed foods.) I have not been perfect but I am persistent. Healthy desserts and sugar replacements can be a slippery slope but it’s up to the individual. At any rate, giving up sugar long enough helped me to stop craving it so much. I also noticed that when I did have sweets or processed foods I didn’t feel full, I just kept eating. However, switching to more protein has helped me to feel full and gives me more vitamins. I track my food on the app chronometer. It gives me the breakdown of vitamins.
@jessicavaquero6640 thank you! And yes never keeps full. And your right about the slippery slope. I like fruit and can probably manage not to overdue that just gonna look up some recipes :)
Are you aware of what Colostrum is? I don't think I am up to consuming colostrum from a cow goat or wherever they get it. If it works for you, go ahead.
its 39.95 for the smaller size. if you have gut issues its worth it, esp if you take a 1/2 dose (which I do all the time) i have really enjoyed the product.
Because there is a good amount of coconut oil in there, that is a treat best kept in the fridge. Coconut oil (no matter what it's mixed into) melts at 70 degrees Fahrenheit - about room temperature. Unless you make this in winter, and your house stays on the cool side, it's best to keep this in the fridge or it will get gooey and messy.
Dates are low to medium on the glycemic index. Used sparingly- just a few not a pound is a great way to naturally sweeten food for those of us who do not eat sugar. They are also very nutritious. Allulose is now under investigation and it's costly. I use Majool dates instead.
I'm sorry I couldn't find a way to send this privately. I have removed my subscription. Bovine cholosterum? Cow first milk concentrate? Please reconsider your sponsor
5:26 I know..awful. Products like those, are products that are made, in the industry, when the calf is immediately taken from the mom before it can even nurse. Awful practice. And I am with you .❤
Camirra, Thank you so much these two recipes. They are my "go to" bars that my husband loves. I myself do not like the Larabars sold in stores, but your recipe is sooooo good.....really superior. I make them all the time for gatherings, and everyone loves them again and again.❤❤❤
I make a traditional Mediterranean treat. It’s a mixture of dates, apricots, cinnamon, almonds, and I use agave instead of honey. You can also add coconut to this if you like. Use equal parts of each dry ingredient. Add 1/3 cup agave and 1 tsp of cinnamon. If you like you can also add 1/2 tsp. Of cardamom or allspice. Blend into a dough. Wet your hands and roll into 1 1/4 inch balls. Roll into
Old fashioned sugar plums are a good option. Made from dates, pecans or walnuts, cocoa powder, and honey or agave. 1/12 cups chopped pecans 1 tsp. Vanilla 1/4 cup cocoa powder blend into a dough. In the food processor. Roll into 1 1/2 inch balls. Coat with cocoa powder.
My go-to snack when I crave something sweet are raw energy balls. They're so easy to make and so versatile. You can make healthy chocolate out of coconut oil, maple and cacao. Dip some hazelnut vanilla energy balls into it - bliss!
As a child I used to eat peanut butter out of the jar with a spoon now I hate PB 😂 and love almond and cashew butter are my favorites. I love this recipe I’ll be making these Thank you
What do I do for a chocolate bar fix? I melt 1/2 cup coconut oil, blend 6-9 dates in the melted coconut oil then add 1/2 cup organic cocoa powder. I pour it into a small parchment lined container. I put it in the fridge. Once it’s solid I’ll cut into small squares (or rectangles 😊). Sometimes I’ll add cayenne to the mixture. Keep in the fridge. Coconut oil is in there it will melt. So far I like the Medjool dates at Trader Joe’s best.
If you want unsweetened chocolate, you can use Baker's. It's in the baking aisle, and where I am it's sold as 2 4oz bars. They're usually used in brownie recipes.
"if ya want water, just drink water'! Had me falling out! So true! What you say about it being satisfying is so true. If it hits the spot then you don't need so much! Quality over quantity.
Yes girl your skin looks so beautiful! Apples or oranges usually works for me when I just crave sweetness. Oh and I love peanut butter, especially the fresh ground honey peanut butter.
“Low Sugar Alternative” sounds awesome! Have you tried the snicker bar tasting date recipe? Add pnut butter in the date and dip in dark chocolate. Yum!!!
5:23 Lilys has sugar-free chocolate chips! I just put white and dark chocolate chips into my granola yesterday! Zero sugar! Thank me later!! ❤❤❤ 6:37 I love how real you are! Keep it real! ❤❤❤ I made the viral peanut butter yogurt barks with leftover chocolate that had with sugar in it. I think it's okay to have sugar as long as it's not in large amounts. Cuz those chocolate-covered yogurt peanut butter barks I made wouldn't be the same without the real chocolate on the outside! ❤❤❤
People need to know that FAT is not evil. What people need to be cutting down on is carbs and sugar.
I was just going to come on and say the same thing.. You don't have to worry about fat if you are not gorging yourself on carbs & sugar :)

Ghirardelli makes baking chocolate bars with 0 sugar I buy them on amazon I use them for making ice cream as chips in or coating on macadamia nuts in vanilla ice cream or for chocolate ice cream. I recommend stevia or monkfruit with Allulose comes in brown or granulated but none of those other artificial sweeteners I use these for my dirty carnivore diet and I've lost 40 lbs sense just after last thanksgiving I dont have cravings anymore but in the beginning, they served me well I still use monkfruit with Allulose for making BBQ Sause and beef jerky marinade
I bought a syrup from the Livlo brand which uses allulose. I was shocked how sweet it was. Are you using allulose with monkfruit because of the aftertaste with monkfruit? I'm new at this. Ty!
I’m going to try both of them. Thanks for sharing.
Ghirardelli has sugar free chocolate chips and they are AMAZING! You wouldn’t know they didn’t contain sugar. BUT some people cannot digest the Maltitol. And *I* am one of those people. I ate @ 2 Tablespoons. Within 45 minutes I was in the bathroom for the REST OF TNE EVENING! 3 1/2 hours! I decided not to throw it out-I’m saving it for medicinal purposes……if you get my drift
There is also choc-zero. Haven’t tried it yet but I will.
I freeze banana slices and dip them in melted chocolate. Ghirardelli has a 90% chocolate. It’s kinda bitter but the sweetness from the banana compensates for it. I also stuff pitted dates with half of a toasted pecan and a dab of peanut butter and dip them in chocolate.
And I put some frozen banana slices in the blender with enough low fat milk to help it mix well. Add a bit of the dry mix from a pkg of sugar free chocolate pudding and blend until,it’s nice and thick. Eat it right away as a soft serve kind of ice cream or put in a plastic container and freeze. Let it sit at room temp till a little softened.
its great to eat good and eat healthy, thank you blessings
I had to switch to almond butter from peanut butter because I can't eat as much almond butter than peanut butter. I will eat a whole jar of peanut butter in a sitting!
I eat PB on almost everything, even found a shop at the mall with Peanut Butter Soup! OMG it is GOOD!
I eat peanut butter toast along with a banana. Tht is my standard breakfast.
I’m going to try both of them. Thanks for the recipe.
I am going to try the chocolate and date bar. That looks really good. I’m not much of a nut peanut butter candy bar type person. Do you think we could change the peanuts in the cashews into walnuts? Because I like walnuts. This time of the year, when Easter is coming around, I really love the Cadberry chocolate. This might keep me from eating some of that. So thank you very much, Kathy.
Yes any nuts can work!
Definitely gonna try these and sprinkle a little course sea salt on top. 🤤 ❤❤❤❤
Thanks Camirra have a great weekend you and your family . GOD BLESS ❤
Yummy!! I’ll adjust the recipe just slightly BUT THIS WILL TASTE YUMMY! Wonderful keep the people educated
"if you want water just drink water" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha.. true 🎉
Haha!! Took the comment right out of my mouth 😂
I like both recipes! Thanks for sharing! I will be trying!
WOW Chef CAMIRRA 👩🏾🍳, both recipes sounds amazingly Divine and exceptionally delicious 😋. Absolutely Sensational. Enjoy a happy and blessed stress free peaceful Sunday with your family and a fantastic week ahead God bless you all in abundance forever . Amen 😊. Well done 👏🏽👏🏽💛💐🧡✨👑✨👸🏽😘.
Thanks so much for these recipes! I'm going to try both too. Instead of maple syrup I'm going to use Mrs. Butterworth's Sugar Free Syrup. I hope it works.
yes should work!
My favourite lunch WAS homemade bread, toasted with peanut butter. For over a year now, no homemade bread for me, and no peanut butter. I no longer have cravings, but I do love watching you, and may use the crust to make KETO lemon bars. This does look yummy though. Thanks! ❤️
thats a goods idea1 the crust is versatile so a lemon top would work
Oh my goodness!! That sounds and looks so amazing!! Dates are awesome ! Rich does not shut me down 😂. I have to make these!! Praise the LORD ❤️🙏✝️
Very helpful video!
We also use Colostrum for heartburn or after a meal that feels too heavy. The bars look delish! I make something similar to the first one and add unflavored protein powder. Crunchy PB
If you want water just drink water.😂😂😂
i swear 😂😂😂
Cut it into bars? Heck just start gnawing on it 😆😆 Looks SO yummy, gonna have to try those peanut-butter/choc bars(recipe #1)
A high fat diet can help you lose weight. Your body is either going to use fat or sugar for fuel. You'll be able to tell by your cravings.
Instead of looking in the candy aisle, go over to the baking aisle, for unsweetened baking chocolate. Hershey's quit making theirs in 2018 (not sure if they brought it back), but I just pulled a box of Baker's brand out of my pantry to check, it contains no sugar.
For alternative, instead of Crisco or other veg. shortening, mix the dry cocoa with cocoa butter. You can find cocoa butter in the beauty aisle, in little pale yellow 1 oz. tubes (NOT the cream blends - you want the only ingredient to be cocoa butter). Cocoa butter is HARD at room temp. I used to get it for $1/tube at Dollar General, Walmart sells them for 8.26/oz, Queen Helene brand. It is pure cocoa butter. I have some to use on my skin, as it literally melts into your skin. It is used for stretch marks, but I use it in my soaps and just rub it straight on cuticles in winter. Anyway, although in this form it is sold for skin care, so long as it is pure cocoa butter and there are no other ingredients, it is edible. I have never tried it with cocoa powder as a sub for chocolate in recipes, but I don't see why it would not work. iHerb sells them for $2/tube. It is the exact same item, no idea why it has jumped in price. Well, maybe we all know....
Pure coca butter will keep on the shelf for years, but might dry out a little, and will have a whitish film. That's fine, it's still good, just drying out. It contains natural antioxidants which keep it from going rancid.
I like peanut butter 😊
Thank you so much! Trying to cut down/stop eating sugar. Looks yummy
Hey Jackie, I’m not sure where you are in your journey to cut sugar, but I can say the best thing I ever did was to cut it cold turkey for a week.
I had really horrible food noise and a full blown sugar addiction but after abstaining for a week and increasing my protein intake, it has been so much better.
I know it’s different for everyone. Many blessings on your journey.
@jessicavaquero6640 oh wow that's awesome to hear! And I think you are right about cold turkey. Do you use dates or any recommendations for what you eat? And thank you :) sending blessings your way
@@Jackie1111 Hi Jackie, the sweets that I have are some fruit (berries) and this amino drink that has a sugar replacement. Dates have too many calories for me personally. (I am also trying to lose weight while cutting sugar and processed foods.) I have not been perfect but I am persistent. Healthy desserts and sugar replacements can be a slippery slope but it’s up to the individual.
At any rate, giving up sugar long enough helped me to stop craving it so much.
I also noticed that when I did have sweets or processed foods I didn’t feel full, I just kept eating. However, switching to more protein has helped me to feel full and gives me more vitamins. I track my food on the app chronometer. It gives me the breakdown of vitamins.
@jessicavaquero6640 thank you! And yes never keeps full. And your right about the slippery slope. I like fruit and can probably manage not to overdue that just gonna look up some recipes :)
Are you aware of what Colostrum is? I don't think I am up to consuming colostrum from a cow goat or wherever they get it. If it works for you, go ahead.
I'm sure this smart lady knows what colostrum is. The audacity...
SMH 🤦♀️
Most women know what colostrum is. We produce it in our breast after we give birth.
This looks absolutely amazing ☺️
Colostrum is one if the the goodies in mothers (breast milk), giving the baby more benefits for the immune system and general health. Google it.
Choc zero also has maple syrup and honey, sugar free, both delicious
Your miracle moo is $60 a jar, that’s rather expensive to me
its 39.95 for the smaller size. if you have gut issues its worth it, esp if you take a 1/2 dose (which I do all the time) i have really enjoyed the product.
Ty so much for the info
Yeah not paying 60 but will consider paying the reduced amount because I've suffered with stomach issues for my entire life
i hope you try the lower priced one to give it a go! i really enjoy the product!@@CarolShook-yg9nn
Find you some REAL MILK you will get more than the moo
Because there is a good amount of coconut oil in there, that is a treat best kept in the fridge. Coconut oil (no matter what it's mixed into) melts at 70 degrees Fahrenheit - about room temperature. Unless you make this in winter, and your house stays on the cool side, it's best to keep this in the fridge or it will get gooey and messy.
Since when is maple syrup not sugar? It doesn't matter if it is in the whole recipe. Dates are Stright up sugar. Maybe try allulose
Dates are low to medium on the glycemic index. Used sparingly- just a few not a pound is a great way to naturally sweeten food for those of us who do not eat sugar. They are also very nutritious. Allulose is now under investigation and it's costly. I use Majool dates instead.
Thanks for sharing these awesome recipes. Love how you explain the recipe and instructions. You have an awesome teaching voice !!! 💕
Thanks so much! 😊
I'm sorry I couldn't find a way to send this privately. I have removed my subscription. Bovine cholosterum? Cow first milk concentrate? Please reconsider your sponsor
5:26 I know..awful. Products like those, are products that are made, in the industry, when the calf is immediately taken from the mom before it can even nurse. Awful practice. And I am with you .❤
Thanks for sharing! Those look like great options for a Snack!! ❤❤
maple syrup is pure sugar.....so you are eating surgar
It no refined sugar. Also you can replace with more of the monk fruit
Your body needs sugar, but NATURAL sugar, not refined. Organic maple syrup is low glycemic
Camirra, Thank you so much these two recipes. They are my "go to" bars that my husband loves. I myself do not like the Larabars sold in stores, but your recipe is sooooo good.....really superior. I make them all the time for gatherings, and everyone loves them again and again.❤❤❤
Glad you like them! that is so awesome!
Video title ... "I Dont Eat Sugar" , yet she uses maple syrup in the ingredients, 14 grams of sugar
I said no refined sugar
oh ok, I said "VIDEO TITLE" which does not include the words 'no refined", but ok, no refined. got it.
@@CamirrasKitchen Dear lady, ignore the idiots. You are awesome.
actual maple syrup doesn't have any sugar in it
@@awestruckcanuck ... Wow, yes it does, google it.
I make a traditional Mediterranean treat. It’s a mixture of dates, apricots, cinnamon, almonds, and I use agave instead of honey. You can also add coconut to this if you like.
Use equal parts of each dry ingredient. Add 1/3 cup agave and 1 tsp of cinnamon. If you like you can also add 1/2 tsp. Of cardamom or allspice. Blend into a dough.
Wet your hands and roll into 1 1/4 inch balls.
Roll into
Old fashioned sugar plums are a good option.
Made from dates, pecans or walnuts, cocoa powder, and honey or agave.
1/12 cups chopped pecans
1 tsp. Vanilla
1/4 cup cocoa powder
blend into a dough. In the food processor.
Roll into 1 1/2 inch balls. Coat with cocoa powder.
lily's sugarfree chocolate chips are delish. thanks for the great recipes. they are fantastic!!!
My go-to snack when I crave something sweet are raw energy balls. They're so easy to make and so versatile.
You can make healthy chocolate out of coconut oil, maple and cacao. Dip some hazelnut vanilla energy balls into it - bliss!
Date paste (blend water & dates) since fiber in dates slows absorption of natural sugar in dates...or use dehydrated date powder & water
You're treats look so delicious!! Thank you for sharing!💖
As a child I used to eat peanut butter out of the jar with a spoon now I hate PB 😂 and love almond and cashew butter are my favorites. I love this recipe I’ll be making these
Thank you
You have the most adorable personality 💗.
I’m going to try the date and nut bars. They look easier and right up my alley with more natural sugar from fruit rather than processed.
My favorite is to blend a banana, strawberries, nut milk, hemp seeds, chia seeds and stevia to make a sweet and healthy chia pudding. Sometimes mango.
In addition to using water to help parchment paper, you can also crumple it into a ball and then flatten it out again.
What do I do for a chocolate bar fix? I melt 1/2 cup coconut oil, blend 6-9 dates in the melted coconut oil then add 1/2 cup organic cocoa powder. I pour it into a small parchment lined container. I put it in the fridge. Once it’s solid I’ll cut into small squares (or rectangles 😊). Sometimes I’ll add cayenne to the mixture. Keep in the fridge. Coconut oil is in there it will melt. So far I like the Medjool dates at Trader Joe’s best.
😋
Looks delicious 😋 can't wait to make them
If you want unsweetened chocolate, you can use Baker's. It's in the baking aisle, and where I am it's sold as 2 4oz bars. They're usually used in brownie recipes.
I got off carbs and sugar, lost 10lbs already in a month. I use monk fruit in my coffee and tastes same or better. Thanks
Bake believe chocolate chips from Walmart or Walmart online ordering are my go to! Lilly’s or Hu are great as well but higher in price.
Have You tried the recipe with raw cocoa powder , coconut butter and nuts ??? it s delicious , simple and healthy
I want to try the first recipe first and then hopefully I’ll try the second one. Thanks for sharing. Pat in North Carolina
"if ya want water, just drink water'! Had me falling out! So true! What you say about it being satisfying is so true. If it hits the spot then you don't need so much! Quality over quantity.
Yes girl your skin looks so beautiful! Apples or oranges usually works for me when I just crave sweetness. Oh and I love peanut butter, especially the fresh ground honey peanut butter.
Thank you so much 🤗
“Low Sugar Alternative” sounds awesome! Have you tried the snicker bar tasting date recipe? Add pnut butter in the date and dip in dark chocolate. Yum!!!
5:23 Lilys has sugar-free chocolate chips! I just put white and dark chocolate chips into my granola yesterday! Zero sugar! Thank me later!! ❤❤❤
6:37 I love how real you are! Keep it real! ❤❤❤
I made the viral peanut butter yogurt barks with leftover chocolate that had with sugar in it. I think it's okay to have sugar as long as it's not in large amounts.
Cuz those chocolate-covered yogurt peanut butter barks I made wouldn't be the same without the real chocolate on the outside! ❤❤❤
If you turn that chunk of goodness onto its chocolate top, it will be easier to slice😊
I grew up on peanut butter! It was and is a staple in my home.
When I need a quick protein pickup, I go for the peanut butter!
I love peanut butter!!! Your recipe looks bomb and I can’t wait to make! Im so glad I found your channel ❤
This looks amazing! Thank you for this video! You are just too sweet.
The only way to kick the craving is to completely cut it out
Rinse the date pits and dry them. Then roast them and can be used to make coffee.
This is super impressive! Thanks for the delicious idea ❤
Excellent ideas! I'm gonna try them both as I love peanut butter and I love dates! Thank you! I'll get back on my results.
