Valentine’s Day is just a day away! Gotta love that sacred day of chocolate! So how do we indulge without the recovery workout the next day – You know what I’m referring to – that workout that you think will replace all the bad that you did the day before!! No magic bullet, but go in with a plan! You plan your workouts and plan for meals for the week, so why not plan the indulgence as well!
In walks coconut bars – coconut gets a lot of press for being the “good” kind of fat, but has a lot more to stand on than that! Raise that HDL and add so many minerals that we have trouble getting elsewhere including magnesium. The anti-aging properties can’t be beat! That’s a discussion for another blog.
So combine that with a little dark chocolate and you have a couple bites of no guilt.
So indulge this Valentine’s Day or make a treat for the special healthy someone!
Coconut Bars:
2 cups unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup coconut oil melted
2 Tbs honey
Melt coconut oil with honey in microwave. Add coconut flakes. Place in square 8×8 pan. Press to form a solid mass.
Place in refrigerator until cool. Top with melted dark chocolate.
Yep, its just that easy! YUM!!
