Nutella, the nutty chocolate spread, is almost 60 years old. Last year some 365 million kilos were consumed – roughly the weight of the Empire State Building – in 160 countries around the world. There is dairy free alternative! As you know (or maybe you don’t know) Nutella is made with ingredients that are less than desirable when it comes to eating healthy or eating for clear skin. *we’re looking at you, soy & dairy*
BUT – fret not, if Nutella is your jam there is another way to enjoy your childhood favorite treat without the acne. I know, I know. It’s hard to believe that there can be a healthy Nutella recipe! The good news is, it exists, and you can make it in your own kitchen.
Why You Should Make Homemade Dairy Free Nutella
As much as I think the founders of Nutella’s idea is genius, I also think that their original recipe has fallen victim to industrial processing.
A jar of Nutella contains:
58% Sugar: Yes, you’ve read that right! It’s not a typo.
18% Fat: Fats are not bad for you. The main issue with the fat contained in Nutella is that it mostly comes from palm oil. Palm oil contains over 50% of saturated fat, which makes it a high-cholesterol food.
And what about nuts? The main ingredient is called NUT-Ella after all.
Well, each jar contains around 50 nuts, which equates to 20-25%. Not much at all.
