WHOLESOME NUTELLA

Hazelnut Spread made of Pure Ingredients

Vegan – Gluten Free

Posted on June 1st, 2017

Even though Nutella is extremely popular and very tasty, the ingredients are extremely unhealthy. Aside from that, Palm Oil is number one cause of deforestation and dairy is responsible for cruelty to animals. If you would like more information about this topic, you can read these articles: Palm Oil 10 Dairy Facts .

On the more positive note, is that I made super yummy, much healthier and cruelty free version of Nutella for you. These ingredients are actually good for you if you eat it in moderation, just like my other desserts. Even though pricewise it may not be so cheap as Nutella, but I promise you it’s worth it. Your body, the planet and the animals will thank you.
