WHOLESOME NUTELLA
Even though Nutella is extremely popular and very tasty, the ingredients are extremely unhealthy. Aside from that, Palm Oil is number one cause of deforestation and dairy is responsible for cruelty to animals. If you would like more information about this topic, you can read these articles: Palm Oil, 10 Dairy Facts . The links are attached at the end of this post.
On the more positive note, is that I made super yummy, much healthier and cruelty free version of Nutella for you. These ingredients are actually good for you if you eat it in moderation, just like my other desserts. Even though price wise it may not be so cheap as Nutella, but I promise you it’s worth it. Your body, the planet and the animals will thank you.

Thank you so much I really appreciate it 😊
You deserve it. Your work takes loads of time one must be sensitive to those details.
You are very kind, thank you so much again 😊
My wife always cooks something special every weekend. I'm going to beg her to make this! If we do, I'll make sure to take pics and give you the proper respect. Thanx for the recipe.
Oh wow, thank you so much, that would be lovely. 😊💚🍓
Hi lenasveganliving, so I did get my wife to make that wholesome nutella, and she videoed it. However, after she heard what I was doing on Steem, she decided she wanted her own account. We will do it this weekend, and post the videos on Saturday or Sunday.
Didn't want you to think I had forgot you, lol.
Thanks for this piece. Can't say I've ever been a fan of Nutella but can remember bringing a jar back with me from Italy to the states a long time ago. I left it in my office and the following day I came back to an empty container...lol
Thank you so much Dear 😊💚🍓
I don't like nutella , but this looks so delicious Lena! :))
Thank you so much Dear Maya 💚😊🍓
Nom nom nom, I need to make this! (cacao is written down on my grocery list, all I need to do now is to take it with me when I go shopping...)
Oh yes Remco this is aleady second recipe lol
I never make a list, I just go to the market or shop and see what they have and what I want at that moment. And I try to remember important stuff and if I forget it, it wasn't important enough... :) But this time I've made a small list, just 3 things and it's only for the recipe :D
Now, all we need to do is staple it to your forehead! Seriously!
Hahaha, stop reading my comments!
I would, but, then I would miss some important points in the blog! How about if I behave and stop commenting? :)
excellent!
Thank you so much Tina 💚🍓💚
Lena this sounds great! Will try!
Thank you so much Dear Judith , I'm sure u will like it 💚🍓💚
