Healthy Chocolate Mousse!

Happy Sunday! It also happens to be Valentine’s Day, which, for me, is an excuse to eat more chocolate, and I’m always looking for a reason to do that, so it’s great!

Dark chocolate tastes incredible and actually has many health benefits…

Avocados are also wonderful and can do really incredible things both IN (ingested) and ON (hair and skin) our bodies!

SO naturally, I wanted to combine my obsession (I take full responsibility for it) with both of these power foods and make some kind of delicious treat for Chocolate Consumption Day.

And starting with these….

I proceeded to make the most delicious and decadent chocolate mousse in 5 minutes.

Ingredients:

4 ripe avocados

1 cup raw cocoa powder

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup milk of choice (I used almond milk)

8 Tbs maple syrup

Combine all ingredients, blend them up in a food processor or blender and store in the fridge. Serving tip: The icing on THIS cake is when you top the mousse with cacao nibs and fresh raspberries!

NOTES: The less milk  you use, the thicker the mousse will be, the more you use, the thinner and creamer it will be. Chef’s choice! You may also need to adjust the sweetness according to your taste, and you can obviously sub a different kind of sweetener if you choose.

Go forth and be chocolate-full!

Peace, love and healthy fats,

Love the Skin You’re In

Happy Friday! The end of the work week for most people, Friday is a lovely day to look forward to the weekend of relaxing and rejuvenating or partying, however you choose to recharge.

Today is the last day of the Make the Most of YOU challenge, as we explored the sometimes easily forgotten inner self, and gave ourselves some pampering, love and patience through meditation, clean eating, inspirational reminders and some workouts!

This was our last quote for today.

Being Genuine at all times is so important. It’s easier to be genuine when you’re taking great care of yourself and are able to really stand behind what you’re saying and perform actions that stem from a real, truthful and heartfelt place.

Once our insides are aligned and the self-love and appreciation is flowing, it’s much easier to start working on the outside appearance. I invite you to continue the journey with us in our next challenge group titled Love the Skin You’re In which starts on February 15. It will be four weeks of focused work on cultivating the best you, with a tailored workout program that fits your time constraints, needs and wants, nutritional guides, daily accountability and a wonderful online community of others on a similar journey!

FREE 15 in ’15 Challenge Group!!

Good morning! It’s Thursday!

Thankful Thursday! Today I’m incredibly thankful for my health, my want to strive towards becoming a better person all the time and the fact that I’m able to make my own choices in life.

One of the best choices I’ve made in the past few months was the one to become a Beachbody coach. And for this push and constant encouragement, I’m ever so grateful for my coach, Katherine!!!

The first challenge group I was part of was called 15 in ’15 and we’re running another one starting on September 28. We will be using the 30 day free trial of Beachbody On Demand, so you’ll get a taste of the awesomeness of BOD. Each workout will be selected from the over 200 workout programs that are always on BOD, streaming on your TV, computer, phone or tablet, wherever you have internet.

If you’re new to working out everyday, that’s okay! There are modifications to every single move in every workout, so fear not. And if you’re an old pro, these trainers will make you sweat! If/when you’re sore, ask for help and tips from the coaches, and we’ll keep you motivated and on the right track, the whole way through! A meal plan will be provided that is easy to follow and full of healthy, nutritious and sustaining clean meals.

All you have to do is message me and we’ll get you signed up for your FREE 30 day Trial of the Beachbody Club membership!
