The best junk food ever!

Please keep an open mind. This sounds disgusting... but I assure you, it is perfection. Basically, when it comes to junk food you've got salty or sweet to choose from. I say, "Why choose?". Popcorn kinda bugs me. It gets stuck in my teeth and it's loud and sort of more work than it's worth. Unless it's made this way:

I'm not a Crazy Person Popcorn

A large bowl of popcorn

1/2 cup of melted chocolate chips

1 tablespoon of cajun spice

2 tablespoons of nooch (nutritional yeast)

Mix all of the ingredients together. Yes, seriously. It will be messy and un-freak-ing believably delicious. Nooch in popcorn is perfection. Chocolate is, well, chocolate. Cajun spice gives you a nice kick-in-the-pants flavor-wise. Basically, you have everything you could possibly ever crave in one wonderful bowl of wonderfulness. Trust me. I'm not crazy!!!

Chocolate Milk... on crack

Need a "pick-me-up-this-instant-cuz-I'm-a-useless-puddle-on-the-floor"? Avoiding coffee? Want a frapuccino without the crapuccino? Lucky you... I've got the cure!

A tablespoon of cacao nibs (I grind them when I get them and store them in a container)

A splash of date syrup (see recipe)

8 ounces of your favorite milk (almond for me!)

2 ice cubes

Blend! Chug! Be alert! You can get crazy with this basic recipe. Add extra cacao if you are in a serious slump. Add a teensy bit of vanilla extract, maple extract or mint extract for some POW!. Throw in a banana and a teaspoon of almond butter. Maybe a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg is more your style. Heat it up (without the ice cubes) for a hot cocoa with a punch.

Cacao nibs have an OBSENE amount of antioxidants. They are full of magnesium, neurotransmitters that make you happy, and dieters swear by their "losing weight" power. If you don't do well with caffeine, you may want to hold off on these stimulating pieces of yum.
