VEGAN CHERRY NUT MOUSSE TART
Eating foods that are raw is a great way to maximize your nutritional intake while giving your metabolism a boost. Focusing on both coconut oil and coconut cream ingredients provides a medium chain fatty acid that feeds your brain, puts your fat metabolism on course, and also helps nourish your lower GI tract to better absorb nutrients and aid in healing the cells (think bloating, gas, inflammation, etc. issues). Coconut has the goods to make you feel better form the inside out.
