Keto Chocolate Snack Boxes

Thank you to Now Foods for sponsoring this Keto Chocolate Snack Boxes recipe post, and thank YOU for supporting the brands that help make Meal Prep On Fleek possible. All opinions are our own. 

Keto, low carb, and vegan-friendly. These chocolate snack boxes are a healthy solution to your mid-afternoon cravings. Pair with favorite sides for a balanced snack idea!

We may be a little bias here, but this keto chocolate recipe is probably the best we have ever had! That is saying a lot from people who eat a heck of a lot of chocolate. Why do we love this chocolate recipe so much, you ask? Well, for starters, it's made with 100% wholesome ingredients. Four ingredients, to be exact. 

Each of the four ingredients has a nutritional benefit, too:

• Coconut oil provides your brain and body with a quick burst of energy, plus helps raise your good cholesterol
• Cacao powder is densely packed with iron, magnesium, and antioxidants
• Hemp seeds are a complete source of protein and provide you with all 9 essential amino acids
• Monk fruit contains anti-inflammatory properties and has no calories or carbs. This makes monk fruit safe for people with diabetes and aligns with a keto, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free diet. 

So, we guess you could say that this is probably the tastiest and healthiest chocolate you will ever eat! Oh, and did we mention cheaper than high-end store bought chocolate, too? Yup, another win! 

The source of your ingredients matter! 

The ingredients in this recipe are simple and whole, but the source from which they come matters, as well. That's why we always opt for the Now Foods brand items. They recently launched their new organic chocolate and vanilla Monk Fruit sweeteners, as well as, an organic monk fruit powder extract, which we were so excited about! We have been in love with their flavored stevias for years, so we knew these would be just as tasty! 

On top of being delicious, Now Foods is the only brand that offers an organic monk fruit sweetener! Crazy, huh? It is also Non-GMO. Plus, with monk fruit, a little goes a looooong way! These bottles may look tiny, but they have 200 servings inside! 

Every morning we had some of the chocolate monk fruit to our coffee milk to create a sweet, keto-friendly mocha. Which also happens to be vegan, low carb, and gluten-free. This satisfies our craving for something sweet in the morning. PS - you don't get any weird after-taste with monk fruit sweeteners either! These literally taste just like pure sweetened vanilla or chocolate! 

To fix the mid-afternoon chocolate cravings, we created these DIY snack boxes. If you opt to just go with the chocolate and forgo the sides, these chocolate bars ring in at only 1.4g of net carbs per serving! With that kind of carb count you can always have 2 servings (or is that only us?) 

We rounded out the snack boxes with our favorite sides for the ultimate sweet combo; cottage cheese, fresh berries, and nut butter. However, you can skip any or all of these and just go with the chocolate. No judgment around here! 

Keto Chocolate Snack Boxes Ingredients:

For the chocolate

• ½ cup coconut oil

• ½ tsp* Now Foods Organic Chocolate Monk Fruit Sweetener

For Serving (optional)

Simplicity at it's finest! 

Who would have thought that four nutritious ingredients could result in such a sweet thing?

After you melt your coconut oil, mix in your cacao powder. 

Make sure that no lumps remain. 

Add in your Now Foods Chocolate Monk Fruit Sweetener. 

Add in your toasted hemps seeds. 

Pour into your chocolate molds. 

Allow them to set in the fridge for 3+ hours. 

Then break your chocolate into 6 servings and serve with your favorite sides. You will love the combination of sweet, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate and the bit of crunch from the hemp seeds.
