Chocolate and oranges have become a huge obsession of mine! The combination is truly out of this world! And no I’m not talking artificial orange flavoring with chocolate but a real orange from the trees of mother nature with deliciously dark vegan chocolate.
I’m dramatic you think right? But once you clean out your entire body and eat clean for a number of months/years you’ll appreciate flavors and look at them in a whole new light. Think more clarity.
When I was a kid you couldn’t pay me to eat chocolate with fruit! It was ghastly! Hahaha, I laugh as I write this because I am picturing my grandma Udith and her love for fruit and chocolate combined. As I got older the idea of delicious juicy fruit with drizzled chocolate on it became a favorite. When my grandma passed away I swear she passed her love of chocolate covered fruit over to me because since then I’ve been all about it.
Picture this: decadent creamy dreamy chocolate dipped into the plump and ripe delicious orange slices sprinkled with superfoods. It’s like a boost of sunshine and feel good vibes all in one bite! And it’s all gluten-free, sugar-free, nut-free and vegan. It’s such a good treat! It’s one of those treats that is healthy, refreshing and sweet as balls without the added sugar.
It took more the Celiac Disease to get healthy. When I was diagnosed with Celiac I actually thought I was eating super healthy. Then living with Celiac for 7 years I still thought I ate super healthy. But the way I was eating wasn’t enough.
It wasn’t until developing bouts of chronic health conditions on top of Celiac like Leaky Gut, SIBO, Candida Overgrowth, Cystic Acne and so much more did I begin to understand that food is not only something that tastes good and makes us full, but it nourishes our body on a soul level. Food is medicine. It was a huge learning experience! That’s how I got into this who orange thing. I had to rediscover food.
I’m hoping if you’re reading this that you’re looking to vibrate higher and find happiness within your limitations.

TIPS:
If you can’t have chocolate don’t fret my pet – use gluten-free carob. That works too! It’s not the same as chocolate I’ll be the first to say that, but it satisfies the craving you’re looking for.
If you can peel an orange you got this!
