The Perfect Guilt-Free Holiday Treat
Don’t you dread it when you get invited to a Holiday Party and you read on the invitation “bring snacks to share”? As a Health Coach, I am always torn… what do I bring? If I take my healthy treats, no one will touch them… if I take something more “mainstream”, I won’t touch them…
Finding an easy to make, healthy, yet tasty snack that’s transportable in the car… quite a challenge! Well, I have found the perfect solution!
Who doesn’t love chocolate with peanut butter? How about we take the best from that combination and upgrade it with healthy protein, healthy fats and Superfoods?
Let me introduce you to my “Superfood Choco-PB bars”: delicious, satiating, festive, indulgent, nutritious and guilt-free.
