With just three simple ingredients, these Frozen Yogurt Almond Butter Cups are simple to make, healthy and delicious!

I think most of you know by now that I have started to increase the healthy fats in my diet. There has been some studies showing that eating more of healthy fats can help me with my intestinal condition so once I heard that, I immediately jumped on.
I will do anything to prevent what happened to me a year and a half ago (and almost 7 years before that!). You can read about my intestinal blockage here.
If you are looking for other healthy snack ideas, you will love this Roasted Chickpea Trail Mix, Pumpkin Mousse, Chocolate Brownie Cookies and definitely these No Bake Cranberry Almond Energy Balls.
All of these would be even more yummy with some Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate, Apple Chai Latte and definitely some Spiked Apple Cider!
Why You Should Make These No Bake Frozen Yogurt Almond Butter Cups
With these additional healthy fats that I am incorporating in my diet, I am watching my carbs and I eliminated sugar from my diet. It hasn't been easy (and I wasn't even a huge sugar eater!) but sugar is in almost everything.
I love stevia and have been using it for a long time now. But I was also using unrefined sugars such as maple syrup, honey and coconut sugar.
Since I was trying to eliminate sugar completely, I started using stevia more regularly. Stevia is a plant that has been around for a long time. It is typically 200 times more sweeter than sugar so a little goes a long way.
Stevia doesn't raise blood sugar levels so it's perfect for diabetics.
I don't consume stevia daily though. I don't put anything in my tea and only use it when I want to make a sweet treat, like these.
I love using Now Foods Vanilla Stevia because it adds that subtle, aromatic vanilla taste with the hint of sweetness. And there are times when we just want something sweet!

Recipes just in time for Thanksgiving events. Always need the bite size munchies so cooking main dishes don't need rushing.
Good luck with the moving in and developing the kitchen. Everyone loves a manageable kitchen that saves time for our busy lives. Enjoy exploring all kinds of ideas. My cabinet doors are limited with much my "drawers" and it made sense for my lifestyle. Thanks Nancy for mention of that element. Worked well for me. And if cabinet doors already in place, there are pull out shelving that could help there.
Hope you all enjoy the Thanksgiving time.
My family celebrates our Christmas at the Thanksgiving time. This gives the children time to spend special time with their children for Christmas Santa Clause and their church traditions.

Congratulations on the move. I'm so jealous you're renovating. My kitchen needs it badly. It's the same one my parents' picked out over 40 years ago. *sigh*
I absolutely LOVE this recipe. I didn't know Stevia made this kind of product. Where have I been? I need to buy some and make this immediately!!

Recipe looks very good. If you have not moved too fast on your kitchen, may I recommend all drawers instead of bottom cabinets. We did that and it is so much easier to get things in the back. You do need deep drawers but believe me they are worth it.
