Chocolate smoothie
It’s the beginning of a new year and as expected, most of us have of resolutions. Problem is that it’s hard to stick to those resolutions unless you make them part of your lifestyle. It’s not hard, but it does require some effort. One of my resolutions for the new year is to eat breakfast every single day. Afterall, breakfast is the MOST important meal of the day,so you have to make it count! I plan to put an end to skipping breakfast this year in an effort to lead a healthier lifestyle.Sometimes, I’m not in the mood of eating in the morning, so I skip the meal altogether and end up feeling exhausted by lunch time. Not a good idea. If you’re not a morning person, a quick smoothie is always a great way to get the nutrition you need and this chocolatey smoothie is almost as good as dessert. Imagine starting your morning with blend of chocolate, berries, bananas and coconut… And it’s also great for your skin! Read on for the recipe and also beauty details from Connie at the Beauty Nerd.
Move over nutella-meet chocolate-coconut butter…
Hello my lovely readers! I have to apologize for being so erratic with my posts lately. I’ve been working on the holiday issue of Flavour Fiesta magazine and it’s taking up most of my time. It’s shaping up to be an awesome issue with more recipes and tips than the last one. Stay tuned!
In the meanwhile, I’m leaving you with a recipe for chocolate-coconut butter, which has quickly become a replacement for my nutella addiction. Move over nutella – I’m addicted to coconut butter now. And the good thing, it’s actually a lot healthier!
Coconut butter isn’t anything new, but I had no clue what it was until last month :$. I guess I’m not as “informed” as I should be! It’s basically shredded coconut that as been blitzed into a smooth and ultra-creamy “butter”. It can be mixed with a number of different things to create a signature butter. My favorite is chocolate-coconut butter. 2 ingredients – instant bliss!
