Easy GAPS Chocolate Truffles has cocoa, in them, is cocoa GAPS legal?

Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride states on gaps.me to answer the frequently asked question, "When can cocoa be introduced?":

“Cocoa is SCD illegal. However, I find that many people can start having it occasionally on the Full GAPS Diet, once the digestive symptoms are gone. Find pure organic cocoa powder. Mixing the powder with some honey and sour cream makes a delicious dessert, and you can add it to your homemade ice cream or cakes. After trying it for the first time, observe your patient for any reactions. Cocoa is very rich in magnesium and some essential amino acids and, unless your digestive system is not ready for it, there is no need to avoid it.”

What if I eat Paleo, Keto, or Whole30 - are they allowed?

Cocoa is allowed on the Paleo, and Keto Diets. Whole30 allows it only if is 100% cocoa.

But, Easy Chocolate Truffles are sweetened with honey which is not allowed on the Keto or Whole30 diets.

So if you are on Whole30, you will have to wait - sorry! But, for Keto, I have a modification for you!

To Make these Keto Friendly:

To make these keto friendly - think of the popular "Fat Bombs" - instead of honey, you can add erythritol which is a keto friendly sweetener.

Because you are going from a liquid sweetener to a granulated sweetener, we need to adjust the liquids in the recipe.

So, remove the honey from the recipe and increase the liquid by adding 1 tablespoon - 2 tablespoon coconut cream and sweeten with erythritol. Start by using 4 tablespoon erythritol and adjust to taste. Continue with the recipe and add more liquid if necessary.

Top Tip For Making These GAPS Easy Chocolate Truffles:

• Since Chocolate Truffles have coconut oil in them and coconut oil is liquid at room temperature (around 75°), be sure to refrigerate them until you are ready to serve.

Or, maybe we just keep our home warmer - we do heat with a wood stove which has caused me to open windows or walk outside in freezing weather because I am so hot!  ;)

Any-who, these definitely rank high on my list for an anytime treat!

With their healthy ingredients, I love keeping them on hand for a quick treat and indulge at will! After all, what a great way to help get your daily dose of good-for-you coconut oil?

GAPS Easy Chocolate Truffles - Variations
