Putting ‘fudge’ and ‘healthy’ together in the same recipe seems unlikely, but it is possible. This recipe uses coconut oil, which is high in fat like other oils, but contains a special kind of fats (MCTs) that help increase the body’s ability to burn fat for energy.

Juicing for health
Blending for juice and pulp
Juice you have to filter your smoothie if you don't like just drink smoothie in one day let sit it get odd looking...juice will sit on bottom and displace making want to shake it.
I started to notice after first taste and couple days from smoothie aspect it doesn't last. Doesn't taste like fresh. Best option is make blender type juice and collect juice. it last a week in your fridge or you drinking it more.
Juicing tastes really good, pulp I found some uses of it. You could add to things to like pasta sauces or places where people say they don't eat their vegetables be surprise later.
Ingredients
Kale (washed and chopped and bagged)
Collard(washed and chopped and bagged)
Pepper (washed and chopped and prepared of day juicing)
Apple (washed, peeled, chopped and cored, prepared day of juicing)
pear (washed, peeled, chopped, and cored, prepared day of juicing)
Cucumber(washed, some peeled, chopped, depending on taste of pit and cucumber you keep pits)
watermelon(washed, rind removed, use the three days purchased)
Pineapple(remove the top, cut top and bottom, cut rind careful then pits)
Ginger(peeled, chopped day of juicing)
Strawberries(washed, top removed or do it whole after you washed it)
other type melons (washed, rind removed and pits removed)
frozen fruits and frozen veggies is highly recommended helps in those who want short cut it but you don't need cut or chop so consider it.
citrus that can be tasted would be peel without much of pectin.
Herbs you can add:
Oregano
Parsley
Turmeric
Rosemary
there ton of other herbs you could add that immune boosting to make your day feel you take on day.
Directions
2) Example: Carrots & apple means you won't need to add sugars ever, Frozen berry & Pepper you need to add Pear because not everyone likes pepper juice combo... Kale doesn't taste good by itself unless with another vegetable herbs work well to keep flavors not too strong.
3) Availability matters, not everything will be there, due to price if your one people who spends money like water...you don't want to me I get mousy when i see price that like five bucks for kale you grow it and it costs less for growing it yourself and grow more of quantity means you grow 10 bushes of it and keep growing for you it ever-growing bush of kale. U get me.
Same with collards? yep.
4) I have Hamilton beach if you have on slow masticating juicers that works just similar to blender, set to low and chopping, squeeze out sooner or liquidfy(this on high setting) so you have fresh tasting juice quicker.
5)what do I do with my pulp, give to goats use in pasta sauces just little bit, use for cookies...and baked cookies and goods. Edible to dogs and other people who have issues in life.
6) Filtering methods funnel or using skimmer ladle which I use often. Paper towels or handkerchief choices are up to you if you have cheese cloth in your house.
7) end result you still have clean up mess, but results you get juice tastes better then store products.
Notes
I don't recommend oranges with juice you rarely taste it, Lemon maybe or other citruses you probably taste more...

In the 30+ years I've been serving it I can't recall very many who didn't like it and I had 2 restaurants and 1 bar in Detroit Lakes MN Tee Pee's Sportsman's bar The birthplace of the "WE FEST" in 1983
I was locking up one night and just when I turned to go downstairs for a well deserved rest a car pulled in A crew got out and came up to the door and asked I was closed Of course I said no and let them in I locked the door up again and asked what kinda beer they drank and it was the Bull so I grabbed a case of tall boys and sat down at a table and made the We Fest possible
Next day i tried scrambled to get a semi truck of folding lawn chairs delivered before the fest but couldn't come hell or high water After the dust settled Jeff and I figured of I lost out on around 7-10K

Gingerbread Recipe
Found this on internet somewhere https://www.brit.co/gingerbread-cookie-recipe/ <very good and it works but
I had modify it.
Ingredients
1/2 c. unsalted butter
1/2 c. Shortening
2/4 c. or 2/8 c. Brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 c. Molasses
2 tsp. Vanilla
Dry
1 1/2 c. flour + 1/4 c. fiber flour
1tsp. baking powder
2/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
spice mix: 1 TB. Roasted Ginger powder, 1 1/4 tsp. cinnamon, 1/4 tsp cloves
Handmixer, standmixer, wooden spoon, fork works well, or you can just wear pair of gloves and mix well in bowel.
Directions
mix wet ingredients together in then add dry together.
mix it well, should be creamy...
Let it rest for 4 hours for you be able to firm enough to make it into forms.
very pliable like clay...roll out with enough flour.
cut outs or even cut into squares my family enjoyed the square form.
Set before you do any preset oven 375/190
7 to 10 minutes in recipe I had to make cook the cookies to 13 to 15 minutes due to 1,200 feet so we had put them in longer. May want to put your cookies in longer to make certain they have darker brown edge then you know they are done they be crispy done.
It work better if they crispy even for gingerbread house.
Notes
Royal icing is pretty easy to make but that something if want to take up.
Icing you just add confectioner sugar and milk depending on thickness, and adding flavor and color.
Royal icing you add egg white, or egg white powder it matters...because gives stiff peaks that last and depending if your adding color there are recipes online you can search for.
I left mine plain, if want to add fresh ginger to give more punch to taste...it not recommended its already spicy depending cinnamon your using. I am using Saigon cinnamon that is pretty much packing heat.
