Would you believe that these Raw Cacao Black Bean Truffles are a part of a diet plan? A vegan treat that is sweet but contains all the healthy fats and proteins recommended for a yummy snack. Make sure to double the recipe to enjoy another tasty treat the following day!
This recipe is part of the diet Metabolism Revolution/ Fast Metabolism Revolution. You could substitute any MR allowed nut and seed butter (from raw nuts and seeds only) for the coconut oil. The measurement per recipe would also be 2 Tablespoons.

There is a big difference in cacaos on the market which vary widely in taste (Hershey is very bitter). I like to use Navitas cacao products for this recipe. They are organic, raw, and taste great!
