HEALTHY RED VELVET TRUFFLE INGREDIENTS

When I made my first healthy red velvet cake I was shocked to see that it was made with very little coco powder and a lot of red food dye! I don’t know about you but I do not find eating red food dye enjoyable. I wanted to make a naturally colored red velvet recipe without the dye.

So, I created a no bake healthy red velvet recipe that uses beet root powder instead of red food dye and the results were just as good if not better! My healthy no bake red velvet balls are made without cream cheese and without cake mix. Just a whole lot of healthy ingredients.

Here's the easy to find vegan red velvet truffles ingredients!

• cashew butter
• almond butter
• almond flour
• cacao powder
• beet root powder
• pure vanilla extract
• mini dark chocolate chips
• pure maple syrup
