I’ve always add a sweet tooth! When I was a kid I used to bake brownies, cookies and always had dessert after diner. Now I know that sugar can really affect your body and health. Did you know that one tablespoon of sugar can lower your immune system for 24 hours? I’ve became a big fan of raw dessert, because they are healthy and so simple to make. Last weekend I made this Raw Nanaimo bar and it was soooo good. I tweeked the original recipe and I am really happy with the result. So skip the refined sugar and use honey. There are so many medicinal properties to honey. I’ve also used stevia, which is a natural sweetener that doesn’t affect your blood sugar. I used to not like the taste of it but now I use less honey and add stevia and I can’t even taste it anymore. Let me know how you like this recipe. Enjoy!
