These brownies contain raw cacao powder which is packed full of cancer-fighting and age-defying antioxidants, essential vitamins and minerals and essential heart healthy fats. They also contain raw walnuts and almonds. Together providing a hard hit of beneficial fats to support brain health, cardiovascular health and reduce inflammation throughout the body. These nuts are also high in protein and fibre, helping to aid in proper digestion, heal muscle tissue and improve skin conditions. The main ingredient in these brownies which provide the sweetness and gooey texture are the medjool dates. Medjool dates are loaded with fibre, improving digestive functions; high in copper, improving iron absorption; high in potassium, regulating cardiovascular function; and provide an abundance of antioxidants, destroying free-radicals and reversing risk of arteriosclerosis.Raw Vegan Chocolate Brownies
