Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

I am so excited to share this recipe with you! I always love when you can take classic tasty treats and make a healthier version, like these Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups! These aren’t just any regular chocolate peanut butter cups, they’re made with BodyBio’s Phosphatidylcholine (PC) , a phospholipid supplement full of essential fatty acids that help keep our cells strong and healthy

Phospholipids are basically essential fatty acids that make up our cell membrane. Our health is determined by the condition of our cells. Similar to leaky gut, if the cell membrane is weak, it allows toxins to seep into the cells and the beneficial contents inside the cells to escape which negatively impacts overall health. A healthy cell membrane can be linked to:

  • Strong immune system

  • Improved memory

  • Better heart health

  • Increase organ function

One of the best ways to support the cells is through BodyBio PC which contains FOUR forms of pure phospholipids designed to boost cell membrane integrity and function, support mitochondrial function (the powerhouse of the cells), and optimize brain health. Since phospholipid levels in the body decrease over time, supplementing with BodyBio PC complex can be helpful in supporting our cells as we age.

PS: Look for chocolate without any sugar alcohols or natural flavors and stabilizers. Preferably a chocolate with only a few short ingredients like chocolate and a pure, natural sweetener source. Also using a creamy peanut butter works best for this recipe.
