This is always a big hit with the boys. A lovely creamy tasting fudge with additional protein powder and maca to support adrenal health. Maca is a well known adrenal adaptogen making this the perfect pick me up treat. I like to make a batch of this around Christmas too – makes an ideal present rather than sweets or traditional chocolates.

Tahini is one of the best vegan sources of calcium and magnesium to support healthy nervous system and bone health. Instead of tahini you could use any nut butter.
